[Seaside] Re: Issue with JSScript code generated in a render

[John Toohey]

Digging a little deeper the problem seems to with the #javaScript
method of CTPusher. By escaping the / slash in this method, the
browsers do not complain, so the code I send is like this :-

<script type="text\/javascript">parent.Comet.eval("$(\"#markettable\").append(\"<tr><td
rowspan=\\\"1\\\" class=\\\"collapsible\\\"></td><td><span
class=\\\"grids\\\">1X2</span></td><td><span class=\\\"bold\\\">1x2
test 5</span></td><td><input id=\\\"hp168\\\" size=\\\"4\\\"
onchange=\\\"$.ajax({url:&quot;/&quot;,data:[&quot;1&quot;,$(this).serialize()].join(&quot;&amp;&quot;),dataType:&quot;script&quot;})\\\"
value=\\\"1.0\\\" name=\\\"2\\\" type=\\\"text\\\"
class=\\\"text\\\"/></td><td><span class=\\\"bold\\\">Hello
World</span></td></tr><script
type=\\\"text/javascript\\\">/*<![CDATA[*/$(\\\"#hp168\\\").spinner({min:1,max:99,step:0.25,increment:\\\"fast\\\",skipInitialChange:true,showOn:\\\"always\\\"})/*]]>*/</script>\")")<\/script>

The browsers report no errors, but the TR does not get appended to the
table. If I remove the spinner script, the TR does get appended.
