Adding form fields to another array

I am using a script that handles file uploads.

Part of the script passes information from several fields to a variable name like this:

var inputs = data.context.find(':input').not(':button');

Later in the script it is used like this:

data.formData = inputs.serializeArray();

The issue I am having is that I added a couple of additional, general, fields to the beginning of the form that I want to use in the form handler as well.

The two fields I added are:

<input id="uploaderName" type="text" name="uploaderName" required value="">
<input id="uploaderEmail" type="text" name="uploaderEmail" required value="">

So when this is called:

data.formData = inputs.serializeArray();

I need formData to include inputs.serializeArray(), uploaderName, and uploaderEmail.

Any ideas?

Change the selector here: `data.context.find(':input').not(':button');` to something more specific or add a class to the two new inputs and change your selector to exclude them. – adaam Mar 07 '14 at 22:51
If these fields are in the form then, from what you've posted, they should already be being picked up by your selector. – Mitya Mar 07 '14 at 22:52
data.context is specific info generated by the script. The two fields I want to add are not contained in data.context – Sherwin Flight Mar 07 '14 at 22:52

How would I use that to put those to the 'inputs' array? – Sherwin Flight Mar 07 '14 at 22:55
