[Seaside] Tasks, Components, Magritte and Style

[Nick Ager]

Hi,

I might be misunderstanding your question, but can't you wrap up your
WATask within a WAComponent? WAWelcome could serve as a template. As
for styles hopefully the book covers it:

Feel free to ask away if I misunderstood.

I think I'm not understanding something fundamental about either nesting components or the relationship between tasks and components, because it seems like you would want to be able to say, this component in the tree is actually the first step in a task. For example, to render a containing component that has within it a login component, but without requiring the user click on "Login" before showing the login form. I can see how to kick off a task in response to an event like clicking.
