<p>I have a form with many input fields.</p>

<p>When I catch the submit form event with jQuery, is it possible to get all the input fields of that form in an associative array?</p>

Associative? Not without some work, but you can use generic selectors:
```
```
var items = new Array();

$('#form_id:input').each(function (el) {
    items[el.name] = el;
});
```
```
