Using the the return event in a jQuery dialog

Using the the return event in a jQuery dialog

In IE, event.target.innerText works and returns text that was typed in by the user. I need this to work in all browsers...of course :) Can someone show me how to get this to work in all browsers, so I know what the user typed in and can save it. I'm using ASP.Net and trying to save the information server side is the reason I put the returned text into a hiddenBasicInformationComments textbox (which is set to run at server). If anyone sees a better way to do what I want, please don't hesitate to let me know.

  1.          $("#divbasicInformationComments").dialog({
                 autoOpen: false,
                 show: "blind",
                 width: 500,
                 height: 480,
                 draggable: false,
                 position: 'center',
                 modal: true,
                 close: function (event, ui) {
                     $(".hiddenBasicInformationComments").val(event.target.innerText);
                 },
                 open: function (type, data) {
                     $(this).parent().appendTo("form:first");
                 }
             });
