using interactive elements inside a bootstrap popover

I am successfully using a bootstrap popover on a link click. I have some form elements inside the popover: a textfield, checkbox and a button. I'm able to attach a button listener using jquery.live(), but inside that button listener I don't seem to have any access to the correct form elements. They exist if I trace them out in a console log, but their values always remain the original defaults, so if I go $('#txtComment').val(); the string is always the same, regardless of what I put into the field.

Are there any examples, tutorials or source code I could look at of something that is using any kind of interactivity inside a bootstrap popover?

this is how I'm setting up the popover:

this.commentLink.popover({
  trigger: 'manual',
  placement: 'right',
  html : true,
  content: function () {
    return $('#commentPopout').html();
  }
}).popover('hide');

//jquery.on won't work here so we use live
$('#btnSubmitComment').live('click', this.proxy(this.commentSubmitClick));

then I'm doing this to successfully show it:

this.commentLink.popover('show');

and this is the button click function:

commentSubmitClick: function(e){
  console.log($('#txtComment').val());//always shows default text regardless of what I've actually typed in the field
}
