jquery ajax plug in dynamic options

How can I make the attached snippets dynamic.

I need all of the name value pairs created in Snippet 1 to pass thru to Snippet 2 without revising Snippet 2.

I would like snippet 1 to be based on an array, something like

arrList = New Array("url", "destination", etc)
for(x = 0; x < arrList.length;x++)
{
arrList[x] + ":" + $('#' + arrList[x]).val()
}

This would make the solution much more scalable.

one possibility: use serialize() to formulate the vales in to name&value pairs.

is there a way to pass the contents of the variable ser to the ajax functon as a get?

      $(document).on('keypress','input', function(){
            var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
                  if(keycode == '13'){
                  var ser = $('form').serialize();

                        $().qbeexecSearch({
                              'url' : 'TSRIQBEF/jx/searchjx.asp',
                              'destination' : '#searchtarg',
                              'exectype' : 'search',
                              'pe_id' : $('#pe_id').val() ,
                              'pe_name' : $('#pe_name').val() ,
                              'pe_first' : $('#pe_first').val(),
                              'pe_last' : $('#pe_last').val(),
                              'pe_middle' : $('#pe_middle').val(),
                              'pe_url' : $('#pe_url').val()

                        });


                  }

      });

So, sounds very good. How would I pass the object into the ajax data?

I guess the flow would be
1. create the object
2. pass the object into the ajax

the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me to simply pass the serialized values so that they get picked up by the receiving ajax page which is an asp page

$('form').serialize();

Request(""formfield)

Hope makes sense.

Rob

yes that would make sense. i was referring to passing the values between the two javascript functions.
