[Seaside] Form action problem (and defaultAction not working at all)

[Sebastian Sastre]

you're right Julian, I was expecting to have the default action executed also when the submit button is pressed.

It's not a bug but my broken expectation.

So the problem for the app now is about getting a callback executed when submitting the form via javascript ala

$('#blahForm').submit()

after some js validation

hmm…

Only the names of the parameters (whether form inputs or url parameters) change. the _k refers to the page/continuation that generated the callbacks, so it should usually be the same for everything on a single rendered page.
