In sending forms with Spry.Utils.submitForm(), I see if the
option value is null, the Spry function submits the option caption
as the value. I do not think this is necessarily the ideal
functionality. In my case, I often leave the first option blank
with a caption such as "Please Select Value". The server side knows
how to handle a blank value, and would either display an error
message if it was a required field, or save it with a null value if
not a required field. Spry sending the "Please Select Value" type
captions really interferes with this. I realize the simple solution
is to change those captions to a null value as well, but I don't
particularly want to lose them either.
I was able to change this functionality with a simple
modification to the Spry.Utils.extractParamsFromForm function, but
I think there must be a more optimal way to do this. Any ideas?
