How do I get the data submitted from a form with JQuery?

How can I get the data that is submitted from a form with jQuery?

I know I can bind the submit function to the form

$('form').bind('submit',function(){});

and I know I can serialize the data in the form:

$('form').serialize();

But how do I get the data that was actually submitted from the form? Like if there are two submit buttons, I want to know which one was pressed. If I handle the submission with PHP I can do that, but ideally I want to get a copy of the submitted data, then return true so that the form goes on to be processed by PHP normally.

Thanks!

The pressed submit button should be available in the serialized field list - and the other submit buttons shouldn't be in there.

However, apparently jQuery does not add submit buttons in there (testcase). See http://forum.jquery.com/topic/submit-event-serialize-and-submit-buttons-get-the-button-name for a workaround.
