[Seaside] jQuery lightbox prompt

[Bob N.]

Robert,
Thanks, that's very helpful.

A couple of things: the #content component can't #answer: to return from the
call, and the component that issued the call does not get re-rendered after
the 'html jQuery new dialog close'.
But it's cleared up some things for me; I'll keep working on it.
