[Seaside] Get the result of JS function

[Johan Brichau]

Thomas,

You can use the jQuery binding in Seaside to easily return javascript values in ajax callbacks.
For example:

html
	button;
	onClick: (html jQuery ajax callback: [:value | Transcript show: value ] value: (html javascript call: ‘test’ withArguments: #()))
	with: ‘Call test’

The #callback:value: method passes the result of client-side expression to the server-side callback.
Mind that (as the method comment states), this only works for single literal Javascript object (String, Number, Boolean). If you want to pass more complex result values, you can use #callback:json: or write your own serialization if json serialization is not sufficient either.

Hope this answers your question,
Johan
