Rails spinoffs - May 2007 - Modal Window Stealing Elements from Form. Need Elegant Solution.

I''m using Prototype.js with Control.modal to create a modal window on
my IPB Forum which takes all the various topic posting/replying/
editing options and places them into a Modal window.

The inherent nature of this action is to take the contents of whatever
DIV I told Control.Modal to make a modal window out of and place the
entire innerHTML of that DIV into a separate DIV outside the main
content.

This creates a problem where my elements are suddenly taken out of the
form and when I click submit all the options are completely gone.

We would like to use the modal since it makes the entire posting
process that much nicer but again we need an elegant solution.

The none elegant solution would be to write a script that creates
hidden form elements based on the form elements'' values in the modal
window but again I''d rather not go with bad code.

Is it possible to force the modal window to not go out of it''s initial
position?

or

Can I submit the values of two different forms into the same
''action''
value page? (In this case a PHP page that will take $_POST variables)
