[Seaside] Moving an element in the DOM

[Lukas Renggli]

That's a limitation of the Scriptaculous Smalltalk-to-Javascript
conversion API. You might want to use #call:with: and directly provide
the right arguments, or add your own helper method either in Smalltalk
or in Javascript (when things get more complicated).

Cheers,
Lukas
