[Seaside] Re: jQuery lightbox flashes on but doesn't stick around inside a form

[Julian Fitzell]

When you put the button in a form, then clicking it actually results
in the page being submitted. So your dialog is displayed but then a
new page is immediately loaded (you should see the URL change).

In order to abort the normal effect of the submit button, you need
your onclick to return false. You could do:

html submitButton
               onClick: ((html jQuery id: id) dialog open; return: false);
               with: 'Hi'

(note that returning the result of this expression from your render
method as you are doing is a bit weird)

Or, probably better, don't use a submit button at all:

html button
               bePush;
               onClick: (html jQuery id: id) dialog open;
               with: 'Hi'
