[Seaside] Submit form with scriptaculous - callback not called

[Paul DeBruicker]

OR you could attach the callback to a hidden input in the #foo form.


But, not using buttons to submit forms is bad because search engine 
crawlers hit links automatically (which you probably don't want when it 
comes to forms) and the information you're submitting is sent via GET 
rather than POST which has security implications.


Lukas- are there other reasons to use buttons rather than links?
