Whenever I use regular form for and have an attribute list containing  
an array all goes fine and it results in parameters like:

{“some\_attributes”=\>[{“title”=\>“first\_title”, “text” =\> “text1”},  
{“title”=\>“second\_title”, “text”=\>“text2”}]}

However whenever I submit the same form with remote\_form\_for then it  
generates the following array:

{“some\_attributes”=\>[{“title”=\>“first\_title”},  
{“title”=\>“second\_title”}, {“text”=\>“text1”}, {“text”=\>“text2”}]}

Anyone know of a way to fix this so the remote\_form\_for submits the  
same parameter list as the regular form\_for?

Thanks.

I have the same problem when using an observe\_form, have you come up  
with any solution on this?
