     <sj:submit formId="form" value="Submit Form" onBeforeTopics="before" targets="resultdiv"/>
</s:form>          

<div id="resultdiv"></div>

This is because the form data is already serialized before the beforeTopic 
fires.
You can manipulate the serialized form by accessing it via
event.originalEvent.formData

However, it might be a good idea for this plugin to add a beforeSerializeTopics 
for any pre-serialization actions.
