[Seaside] Re: a problem using javascript goto and jquery and some complex stuff

[Johan Brichau]

Hi Esteban,

You can do that by putting the goto inside a script callback.

(I'm in a meeting right now, will reply with an example later)

For example, I open a "confirm dialog"... y you cancel the operation, nothing happens, but if you agree, a new page is rendered (not an ajax part, a whole new page), this is more or less the behavior I'm needing (something like the large example below).
