[Seaside] with: takes block vs string

[SainTiss]

Ok, I see...

The point is that I don't really want to pass a block to javascript, as, 
indeed, that wouldn't make sense: I just want to embed some *html string* in 
javascript, like this:

<script>
myHtmlString='<a href="internalSeasideLink">test</a>'
</script>

So the whole point is that I want to use "html anchor" to generate the correct 
html string for me, since there seems to be no other way to figure out 
the "internalSeasideLink" in my example, which I need if I want the link to 
execute a callback
