[Seaside] How would you re-write this code to hide/show content

Yep -- the seaside way is to do what you are doing through a post-back
and return new content appropriate to the selected value.  The only
trick I think is that changing a drop down does not normally generate
a submit() of the form.  So you have to do the following when
rendering the selectbox in your renderContentOn: implementation:

html attributes submitOnChange.
"now render your html selectFromList"

If you need more hints let me know -- sorry for being brief.

Regards,

John
