Why are you asking? What context is this in? What did your research turn up?

i was reading a topic under Ajax requests, which said "serializing a form toa string suitable for ajax requests". i dint understand what that meant.

this is under Ajax using Prototype.js

That simply means converting form element values into query string format.

And in the future, please refrain from bumping a topic with "anyone?" posts. Thanks.
