You need to prevent the default submit action and then resubmit the form yourself manually:

$('form').submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    // do your processing

    this.submit(); // call the submit function on the element rather than 
                   // the jQuery selection to avoid an infinite loop
});
