A very short post today, I just thought this would come in handy to someone. If you are in the form() function you should be able to do this:
$id = explode("-", $this->get_field_id("widget_id"));
echo $id[1] . "-" . $id[2];
However, if for some reason this won’t work for you and you have already managed to get an object ($this) within the widget form within jQuery then this should also work for you:
var id_attr = $(this).closest('form').find('input[name="widget-id"]').val();
