[Seaside] a problem with a javascript statement

[Esteban Lorenzano]

Hi Johan,
Thanks for the response... I think I will go through adding #equals: protocol :)

I also prefer to put the javascript into separated files, but in this case it is a dynamic generated one, with a lot of possible statements (I was just simplifying the example... that's why I cannot use also then:else: :P)

Cheers,
Esteban
