[Seaside] Detect the position of a page div

[Robert Sirois]

Alright, I think I'm starting to understand the process of events here. What I'm still confused about, however, is exactly what "#text:" does. How is it able to render the value of "((html jQuery: #whatever) offset access: 'top')" when I can't assign that value to a component variable, render it with "#html:", or even show it with Transcript? Is that because the function has to be rendered (for JavaScript to deal with) first?

How can I get the offset value and store it in an instance variable then?

The following is an example of something I tried that didn't return anything :/

    html div
        id: 'areaView';
        onLoad: (html jQuery ajax script: [:s | s add: (self top: (s jQuery this offset access: 'top'))]);
        onLoad: (html jQuery ajax script: [:s | s add: (self left: (s jQuery this offset access: 'left'))]);
        script: (html jQuery new draggable);
        with: [...].

Thanks!
