Not sure I understand exactly what the problem is because #with: should
always come last, regardless which tag you are writing, so there's no
ordering ambiguity AFACT.

I see there is not that easy because anchors *should* just do nothing
when they have updates onClick and let the update request do the trick.
Mmmmmm... at least this could be commented somehow

	Hi there,

	 

	    updating some code not to use anymore the deprecated api
#text: I've found right now in 2.8 (lr-462) that WAAnchorTag has with:
and callback: as expected but one *should* use them in the right order.

	 

	    There is no other way to know the right order than to: 1
look and interpret anchor's code 2 try and see what happends

	 

	    I have no personal problem with this because I'm used to but
with a simple touch it could be better. For example:

	 

	WAAnchorTagwith: aBlock
	 url isNil
	  ifFalse: [ self attributes at: 'href' put: url ]

	....

	 

	not only is not commented in the code but also erroneous suggest
that only aBlock is coming. Also annoying is the fact that the anchor is
neutralized by the void(0) action when is not instantiated in the right
order. 

	 

	So.. a little change to this:

	 

	with: aBlockOrString
	 url isNil
	  ifFalse: [ self attributes at: 'href' put: url ]
	  ifTrue: [
	   ((self attributes includesKey: 'href') or: [ self attributes
includesKey: 'name' ])
	    ifFalse: [ self attributes at: 'href' put:
'javascript:alert("Are you sure about how the callback for this anchor
is coded?")' ] ].
	 super with: aBlock

	 

	will call developers attention right to the solution saving it's
time not to mention the time of not that experienced developers.

	 

	    my 2 cents,

	 

	Sebastian Sastre

	PS: I'm worried about the criteria more than the case. I don't
think this as being acceptable for *The Seaside Experience* that one
could want
