[Seaside] SUCondition problem

[Florian Minjat]

Hi again,

I just played a little with the SUCondition which is clearly the key 
to my problem (sorry I didn't saw it before). I have a problem though.
If I use an evaluator as the condition, the result is returned in 
javascript as a string. The immediate problem is that a string as 
condition in javascript always equals true.
The following code always shows an alert :
html scriptaculous script alert: 'test !'; condition: (html evaluator 
callback: [:s | false])

I tried to add an '== ''false''' in several ways inside the condition, 
but I can't manage to get something to work.

So I add a new SUStatement named SUEquals with this method :
printContentOn: aStream
	super printContentOn: aStream.
	aStream nextPut: $=; nextPut: $=; javascript: self statement

So now this script doesn't show an alert :
html scriptaculous script alert: 'test !'; condition: ((html evaluator 
callback: [:s | false]) equals: 'false')

Was this possible without the creation of the SUEquals class ?
