title: Textarea in a form is not submitting via POST with jQuery AJAX
body: <p>For a reason that is unknown to me, my form is not submitting the text typed into my <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>ajax code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
  type:'POST', 
  url:'****.php', 
  data:$('#blogForm').serialize(),
  success: function(responseSubmit) { blah blah etc...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The inputs work just fine, and correctly post to my database.</p>
  
  <p>The form is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form id="blogForm"&gt;
                          &lt;input type="date" name="date" id="blogDate"&gt;
                          &lt;input type="text" name="title" id="blogTitle"&gt;
                          &lt;textarea name="blogContent" id="blogBody"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
                          &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" id="blogSubmit"&gt;
                      &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And what I get when I inspect in firebug, the POST is:
  <code>date=09%2F25%2F1986&amp;title=Title&amp;blogContent=</code></p>
  
  <p>As you can see, the blogContent is empty. Why is this?</p>
