Question

The input fields in my dialog box aren\'t being posted, and i\'m not sure why...

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure jQuery UI breaks out the Dialog section from its normal place in the dom and then moves it to a different place. That would take your input element out of the form parent element. You can't submit a form without a form element, so that's why it fails.

I would suggest rewriting the html as:

 
  Publish Date
  

  Unpublish Date
  
 

If the publishSettings button needs to not be in the popup, then you could move it out of the form and just capture its value on the submit event and add it as a hidden input element before anything gets submitted.

Best of luck.
