[jQuery] Converting objects to strings

[jQuery] Converting objects to strings


Hi All,
I have the following code, which I am trying to pass in 5 variables.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $('#DrainStackDiameter').change(function(){
     var params = {
    TotalApartmentsServed: $('#TotalApartmentsServed'),
        TotalWashroomsPerApartment:$('#TotalWashroomsPerApartment'),
        TotalPowerPipeUnits: $('#TotalPowerPipeUnits'),
        DrainStackLength: $('#DrainStackLength'),
        DrainStackDiameter: $('#DrainStackDiameter')
    };
     $('#RecommendedPowerPipeModel').load('recommend.php',params);
})
.change();
});
</script>
However, the Post in Firebug is giving me the following:
DrainStackDiameter    [object Object]
DrainStackLength    [object Object]
TotalApartmentsServed [object Object]
TotalPowerPipeUnits [object Object]
TotalWashroomsPerApartment [object Object]
How can I convert to string?
Thanks in advance for any help.
