[Seaside] Jump somewhere after rendering

[Michael Meyer]

Hi Bob
I haven't got my image around at the moment. But I can
give you some hints.

You need to create two methods. One to create a possible
jump destination and one  for the actual jump.

WAHtmlRenderer>>marker: aSymbol
  "Create a possible target. <a name=aSymbol></a>"
  self attributes at: 'name' put: aSymbol.
  self tag: 'a'.

WAHtmlRenderer>>jump: aSymbol
  "Jump to target aSymbol with javascript"
  self script: 'document.location.hash = ', aSymbol.


Now lets assume you have a parent component named
WAParent that contains several child components
named WAChild

The renderContentOn: methods need to look something
like this.

WAParent>>renderContentOn: html
  ... render all children ...
  html jump: aSymbol

WAChild>>renderContentOn: html
  html marker: aSymbol
  ... render the child component ...

There is still some code missing.
Every WAChild component needs to have a unique
identifier for the "html marker: aSymbol" call and
the WAParent component needs to know the jump
destination for the "html jump: aSymbol" call.

Does that help?
