[Seaside] updating form element value

[Sebastian Sastre]

Dear Lukas,

	I think that the #callback:value: should help yes. Right now I have
a reaction renderer like this:

 	[:html|
		html updater
			id: self id;
			callback:[:v :h| 
				(self at: aSymbol) model setValue: v.
				self renderInnerContentOn: h]
			value: (html formElement  
						id: (self at: aSymbol)
inputElementId;
						value)]

	Look at the callback. I've put as first argument :v  which is
correctly returning an input text value when the #change event actually
happens in the UA, but I'm not receiving the canvas in :h  so it's nil. So
I'm unable to perform an update of the content. I think it was possible to
receive the value and the canvas to make the update, maybe I misunderstood
something? 

	cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
PS1: the "self at: aSymbol" just returns a subcomponent which basically is
an html InputText tied to a model
PS2: the "(self at: aSymbol) inputElementId" returns the id of the inputText
tag of the form element.
PS3: "self id" is the id of the component and the id of the div tag that
wrapps the html rendered by the component
