I need your help,

How can the code below be modified such that when a date is selected, that it will store the selected date into (var z) and then its value can be called back later. I can’t seem to figure this out, it should be simple, and right by eyes. What am I doing wrong?

    There seem to be a few things going on. The onclick was mispelled, and as was pointed out – semicolons were missing. This should work. 

    <script type="text/javascript">
var z;

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#dd').dialog({ 
       autoOpen:   true,
       modal:      true,
       overlay:    { opacity: 0.5, background: 'black'},
       title:      'Select the date:',
       height:     215, 
       width:      234,
       draggable:  false, 
       resizable:  false

   });//end of dialog_atip


  $("#B1").click(function(){ 
        callback();
  });

  $('#d1').datepicker({
     onSelect:function(){
                    z = $(this).val();
                    alert(z);
                    $("#dd").dialog("close");
     }
  });

});//end of window.onload


function callback() { 
    alert(z);
}
</script>

    I also modified the input button to:

    <input type="button" value="Submit" name="B1" id="B1">

    And you can also play around with the fiddle, here: http://jsfiddle.net/jE8tL/
