Description

When visiting http://api.jquery.com/ in jQuery.param() description it should say:

Create a serialized representation of an array, a plain object, or a jQuery object suitable for use in a URL query string or Ajax request. In case a jQuery object is passed, it should contain elements with name/value properties.

But instead of <input> it displays an input.
