Sending parts of form using jQuery serialize() and AJAX

Question

I'm trying to send parts of one form by AJAX using jQuery's serialize. The form has 16 textfields. I have 4 buttons. The

button0

sends the textfields 0,1,2,3, and

button1

sends the textfields 4,5,6,7, etc etc. How can I do it?

HTML

<html>

 <head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

    <title>Serialize</title>  

    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>   

 </head>

 <body>

    <form id='miForm' class='miForm' name='miForm' action='env.php' method='POST'>



    </form>

 </body>

</html>

jQuery:

     $(document).ready(function(){

        for(i=0;i<16;i++){

            $('form').append('Campo de texto '+i+'<input type="text" id="txt'+i+'" value="Campo '+i+'" readonly="yes"/><br>');

        }

        for(i=0;i<4;i++){

            $('form').append('<input type="button" id="butEnv'+i+'" value="Enviar'+i+'"/><br>');

        }

        $('form').append('<input type="button" id="butGen" value="Enviar Global"/><br>');



    });

If you really want to stay with only one form try something like I did in this fiddle.

Create sub parts for your form.

<form>
    <div id="first">
        <input name="tbox1" type="text">
        <input name="tbox2" type="text">
        <input name="tbox3" type="text">    
        <input id="button1" type="button" value="button1">  
    </div>
    <div id="second">
        <input name="tbox4" type="text">
        <input name="tbox5" type="text">
        <input name="tbox6" type="text">    
        <input id="button2" type="button" value="button2">  
    </div>
</form>

And then just select all the elements of the parts:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#button1').on('click', function() {
        alert($('#first input').serialize());
    });

      $('#button2').on('click', function() {
        alert($('#second input').serialize());
    });
});

Of course if you also have select boxes you have to add them to the selectors. For example:

$('#second input, #second select').serialize()
