Solved: form values are not coming even though serialize() is used in the case of jquery modal window.

form values are not coming to server side in the case of jquery modal window.

i used $('#users').serialize() to serialize text box values which are under table id ='users'.

my doubt is this table is not under form thats why values are not coming.how to solve this problem??
