[Seaside] jQuery variable check for onBlur

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

Hi Bob,

I guess what you are looking for is JSIfThenElse. I have no example at 
hand, but remember two things about it:
* It feels strange to send then:else: to a JSObject. Not very Smalltalkish.
* It does have a bug that I reported on this list a long time ago. It 
only renders the (if) ? then : else; form. So you should change 
#javascripContentOn: to

javascriptContentOn: aStream
     aStream nextPutAll: 'if('.
     super javascriptContentOn: aStream.
     aStream nextPutAll: ') {'.
     aStream javascript: self trueStatement.
     aStream nextPutAll: '} else {'.
     aStream javascript: self falseStatement.
     aStream nextPut: $}.

for more complex statements.

In your case, what you need to do first is produce a JSObject that 
represents the results of the client-side check "saveCancelButtonClicked 
== 1" and send it #then: or #then:else. I'd be interested in how you can 
create that JSObject... I guess it's easy....
