How can I get the value of #_EVENTDATES to use in use in JQuery?

    I would like to store the value of an event date in a variable to use in a JQuery I am writing tp use on the checkout page. Is there some way to do this either from the #_EVENTDATES placeholder or from the underlying PHP?

    If it were in a form field, I could just use something like:

    var start = $(‘#start_date’).val();

    …but the event date is displayed as text – not as an input field.

    Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

    Figured it out! Maybe this will help someone else:

    1. Go to Forms Editor and and add an HTML field with a value of:

    <div id="earlybird">
[events_list]#_EVENTDATES[/events_list]
</div>

    2. Hide the id=earlybird DIV using CSS 

    #earlybird {
display: none;
 }

    3. The value of #_EVENTDATES can be accessed in JQuery as:
    var eventDate = $("#earlybird").text();
