/**
 * This function sets the values of form element variables from an array
 * This is the reverse process of Mark Constable's serialize function
 * It is expected to be used as a call back for an ajax call that retrieves the form data
 * @param data : array or hash containing name,value pairs for elements in the form
 *
 * Examples
 *
 * 1. Deserialize from an array
 *    $('#form-id').deserialize([{'name':'firstname','value':'John'},{'name':'lastname','value':'Resig'}]);
 *
 * 2. Deserialize from a hash(object)
 *    $('#form-id').deserialize({'firstname':'John','lastname':'Resig'});
 *
 * 3. Deserialize multiple config for select/radio/checkbox
 *    $('#form-id').deserialize({'toppings':['capsicum','mushroom','extra_cheese'],'size':'medium'})
 * which will set the corresponding select/radio/checkbox config for toppings
 *
 * 3. Deserialize multiple config for select/radio/checkbox and with isPHPnaming = true
 *    $('#form-id').deserialize({'toppings':['capsicum','mushroom','extra_cheese'],'size':'medium'},{isPHPnaming:true})
 * which will set the corresponding select/radio/checkbox config for toppings, but will ignore select names ending with []
 *
 * @return         the jQuery Object
