Django: How to retrieve serialized checkbox values from ajax call in django views?

For example in html, I have a form that contains check-boxes :

<label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="check" value="check1">Option A
</label>
<label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="check" value="check2">Option B
</label>

And an AJAX call like this:

 $.ajax({
    data: $(#form).serialize(),
    type: $(#form).attr('method'),
    url: $(#form).attr('action'),
    datatype:'html',
    success: function() { 
        ...
    }
});

Since serialze() gives values like check=check1&check=check2 , the value of check only contains check2, the later assignment. Is there a way to get all checked values in an array?

Thanks in advance!
