Paul, Bob,
as far as I understand, Bob's problem is not related to #onAjaxStart:,
because there is no Ajax request in his code example, just a simple
callback. So what you suggest would show a spinner on each Ajax call,
but it will not fix the issue at hand, which is that the callback is not
called.
Or are you saying onAjaxStart: will also be executed for "normal"
callbacks like anchors and submit buttons? My understanding is it is
only executed in the context of an XMLHTTPRequest...?
The described behavior, however, is really strange. In the snippet you
show, there is nothing that would prevent the Browser from handling the
user's click on the link. So if your code snippet really is the
production code, I do not see anything that would explain why in some
cases there is no callback processing. So I don't really have an instant
answer, just a few ideas:
* Are you sure the callback isn't executed? Did you check with Browser
tools if a request is sent to the server?
* Does a server side breakpoint in the callback method fire?
* Is it some obscure ancient Browser version (think IE 8 and below) in
which this happens?
* Is your onClick: handler more complex than your shown snippet? Does it
return false or call preventDefault() ? This would be the only
explanation I can see for the callback not executing.
* If these hints don't help, try debugging the resulting Javascript on
your Browser. All current browsers have quite nice tools for debugging
javascript. The only difficulty here is that it's sometimes hard to find
and debug js code that was generated by Seaside, because the code is
inserted somewhere in the middle of the html page rather than the onLoad
at the end of the document.
HTH,
Joachim
