The simplest way to get the currently selected date(s) of a Calendar instance is
just to call getSelectedDates() on the instance, which will return an array of
Date objects:

dDates

Your code would look like:

var dates = myCalendar.getSelectedDates();

Have you tried this method?

in another script. I've tried numerous way of capturing the date selected via
one of the functions provided and ones I've created without success. It looks
straight forward, but I cant' wrap my head around why the functions provided
won't return a variable I can use. They all end up "undefined". Any insight
would be appreciated. Thanks
