Doalog onClose get contents of a div

Permalink
i'm trying to create a multiple-user selection box (i can't use the built in 1 as it uses custom user attributes that don't display in the default box) and I am storing the selected ID's of the people selected in a form input inside the dialog box.

The dialog box is loaded via ajax.

How can i (in the onclose method) capture the content of this hidden input (#selectedPlayerIDS) and store them on the calling page to they can be uploaded with the rest of the form into the database.

Thanks in advance!

The c5 dialog is a skin on top of the jQueryUI dialog. Unfortunately, whilst dialog parameters get passed through reasonably reliably, events do not.

Some events translate from XX to onXX, but only a few.

My usual approach is to handle a click event for the 'close' or 'save' button on the dialog, grab the data, then either remove the dialog or return true and let the button click complete.
