服务器未收到用户以html格式选择的日期

Question

I've set up a custom field where users can enter to and from dates but when they do nothing happens. I mean by that it isn't displayed what dates they have selected, if they have been validated and they are not sent to the server. The server just gets the value of the custom option tag only.

This is the code fragment running on the browser:

$('#time').on('change', function(){
    if($(this).val() == 'custom'){
        $('#interval_selector').show();
        }
    else{
        $('#interval_selector').hide();
         }
 });

    $(function(){
        window.prettyPrint && prettyPrint();

        var startDate = new Date(2012,1,20);
        var endDate = new Date(2012,1,25);
        $('#dp4').datepicker()
            .on('changeDate', function(ev){
                if (ev.date.valueOf() > endDate.valueOf()){
                    $('#alert').show().find('strong').text('The start date can not be greater then the end date');
                } else {
                    $('#alert').hide();
                    startDate = new Date(ev.date);
                    $('#startDate').text($('#dp4').data('date'));
                }
                $('#dp4').datepicker('hide');
            });
        $('#dp5').datepicker()
            .on('changeDate', function(ev){
                if (ev.date.valueOf() < startDate.valueOf()){
                    $('#alert').show().find('strong').text('The end date can not be less then the start date');
                } else {
                    $('#alert').hide();
                    endDate = new Date(ev.date);
                    $('#endDate').text($('#dp5').data('date'));
                }
                $('#dp5').datepicker('hide');
            });
    });

<div class="span1">
<form name="moreAnalysis" id="moreAnalysis" action="/p" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Further Analysis">
</form>
</div>
</div>  

So how can I get the server to receive the selected dates.

I've based the datepicker on based on Stafan Petre's eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker example.

Thanks

Change #dp4 and #dp5 to form inputs.

 <th>Start date<input id="dp4" data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd" data-date="2012-02-20" /></th>
 <th>End date<input id="dp5" data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd" data-date="2012-02-25" /> </th>
