[Seaside] NAME attribute over-ride for dynamic HTML

[Robert Hawley]

Avi

The idea of having something like a 'messages bar' in the browser does
appeal.  It could be used for warnings, but as an additional bonus it
could also be used for other messages too.  For example I sometimes fail
to notice those syntax error messages that are inserted when I do an
'accept' so it could be good if they were to appear in a more
standardised place.

Yours

Bob

That's a good idea - but what form should the warning take?  Should it 
raise an error?  That seems a little heavyweight.

I guess the Transcript is usually used for such things, but I, at 
least, rarely have a Transcript open... hm, maybe Transcript entries 
should show below the dev toolbar inside the web browser?
