[jQuery] Problem setting input value from SimpleModal Box

[jQuery] Problem setting input value from SimpleModal Box


Hello all,
My dilemma is this.
I have a simple form with several text fields, checkboxes, and
textareas. I also have a SimpleModal box that opens from a hyperlink
on the form. In this Modal box, I have a simple search form that
returns search data from a mysql database.
The returned search data (names) is displayed and is hyperlinked for a
return to the main form. When the data returns, I display it in a
'div' tag. The problem is when I go to submit the form via .ajax and
serialize(), I can not retrieve the data from the 'div' tag.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Below is some of my searching and updating script.
Thank you.
