title: jQuery serialize() leaves out textarea
body: <p>When I submit a form using jQuery's serialize() method, everything gets submitted except the textarea in the form. Is this a common issue? I can't figure it out. The form works except for just the textarea which stays undefined???</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea form="new_note_form" id="note_text" name="note_text" required="required"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;     
  </code></pre>
