EDIT

I am a bonehead--you are not using jQuery. Here is some coee which iterates the inputs in a form looking for elements named qty[] http://jsfiddle.net/JAAulde/WQjQM/6/

Original (jQuery) Answer Below

If I have 3 inputs named qty[] with values a , b , c

Both:

var params = $.param( $( '[name="qty\[\]"]' ) );

(demo: http://jsfiddle.net/JAAulde/WQjQM/1/ )

and:

var params = $( '[name="qty\[\]"]' ).serialize();

(demo: http://jsfiddle.net/JAAulde/WQjQM/ )

give me:

qty%5B%5D=a&qty%5B%5D=b&qty%5B%5D=c

This should be correct for you.

Answer 2

You may want to look at http://api.jquery.com/serialize/ as a solution of how to send off the form values. It should work with arrays (I think)
