#serializeForm does serialize the closest form that surrounds the
current node (the element you set the #onChange:).

The code of Gerhard serializes all forms on the page, by enumerating
over all children of all parents of the current node. This is likely
very inefficient and could be replaced by

    html jQuery: 'form'

which should yield the same result.
