[Seaside] jQuery variable check for onBlur

[Gastón Dall' Oglio]

Hello all.

I guess that Seaside developers only wrap js construction that was needed
to give support to another pieces of Seaside (like ajax, jQuery...), and
they are not thinking in to give really support to construct complex js
code in with Smalltalk objects. For that reason those js wrappers are
incomplete and no correctly correlated to js language.
For example, for conditional statements exists only JSCondition that to
evaluate only for true case, neither "If...else" nor "If...else if...else"
(JSIfThenElse wrap the conditional operator not conditional statement).

Recently I made an Seaside app and often I had to make js sentences using
"JSStream on:", no good :(. I've also seen other programmers code which did
the same, in Reef IIRC. Maybe to use amber for that to be better...

Yes it's really true!

In conditional operator, you have to use "," instead to ";" to separate
sentences within brackets. Seaside to use an ";" to render js when
concatenate sentences, so you have a problem here :(
