Thank you for your response Richard! Yeah, I had a feeling there is a reason why it is done.
My colleague and I have talked about option #1 (copy values back to actual/hidden form element within form). We know it is possible but we were really hopeful of not resorting to this as it is no better than a pop up. With option #2, there are two issues with that: we were taking advantage of jQuery UI Dialog to hide the dialog boxes and only make them visible once the button was clicked. I am curious on how this would affect things as it was originally removed with a purpose. Finally option #3, it gets complicated as we are going to have multiple dialog boxes and other form elements not within dialogs. I think the least complicated option available to us is option #1 despite how much I hate it. Thanks! Andrew On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 4:47 PM, Richard D.
