[Seaside] I would like to attach an onClick event according to

[Robert Sirois]

Try something along these lines (I didn't test it):
((html jQuery: #external_links) has: 'a')
would be confused if you executed it, because ids are unique ;)
Instead, generate your elements with a class, then try:
((html jQuery: '.external_links') has: 'a')
This will return all elements with the class "external_links" and then select from those, the ones that contain at least one anchor element.
Also, you would want to generate the original elements with the click events already on them, unless you were to do something complicated, like check to see if the element being clicked meets your criteria.
Alerts are not handled in Seaside, they are client side, so just evaluate a string :)
Hope this helps,
