[CLOSED][3.??] Ajax Form Submit is not encoding single/multi-select values

[ysolomonrr]

I have a form with a single select,
where the display value is "AND" and the internal value is "&&".

on submitting the form, the single select value is not encoded and hence the encoded string appears as

paramName1=&&&paramName2=someval

which is resulting in an error in the runtime.

This section of code in serializeForm method has an issue:

if(/select-(one|multiple)/i.test(type)){                            
                            Ext.each(element.options, function(opt) {
                                if (opt.selected) {
                                    data += String.format("{0}={1}&",                                                           
                                                         encoder(name),                                                         
                                                          (opt.hasAttribute ? opt.hasAttribute('value') : opt.getAttributeNode('value').specified) ? opt.value : opt.text);
                                }                                
                            });

I modified the code locally to address the issue. But is this a known issue or is there any other way to address this apart from fixing the code directly.
Modified Code:

if(/select-(one|multiple)/i.test(type)){                            
                            Ext.each(element.options, function(opt) {
                                if (opt.selected) {
                                    data += String.format("{0}={1}&",                                                           
                                                         encoder(name),                                                         
                                                          (opt.hasAttribute ? opt.hasAttribute('value') : opt.getAttributeNode('value').specified) ? encoder(opt.value) : encoder(opt.text));
                                }                                
                            });
