In jQuery is there a way to take a serialized string, that was serialized by jQuery, and unserialize the string and place the values into a form in the right location (ie. insert text into input fields and text fields check the correct checkboxes and radio buttons and choose the correct select option). Or will I need to make a script that will plug in the values for the fiels directly?
The serialize() method creates a URL encoded text string by serializing form values. You can select one or more form elements (like input and/or text area), or the form element itself. The serialized values can be used in the URL query string when making an AJAX request.
To get the POST values from serializeArray in PHP, use the serializeArray() method. The serializeArray( ) method serializes all forms and form elements like the . serialize() method but returns a JSON data structure for you to work with.
To serialize a FormData object into a query string, pass it into the new URLSearchParams() constructor. This will create a URLSearchParams object of encoded query string values. Then, call the URLSearchParams. toString() method on it to convert it into a query string.
In JavaScript, for example, you can serialize an object to a JSON string by calling the function JSON. stringify() . CSS values are serialized by calling the function CSSStyleDeclaration. getPropertyValue() .
I ended up finding a jQuery plugin that did the trick:

All I had to do was include the file and call the function, it took care of the rest.
