[Seaside] How to handle errors with a page that can go back

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

HI again,

so let me ask my question differently, and one part after the other:

(How) Do people use a WAHtmlErrorHandler in such a way that it always is 
a full page, not a replacement of a subcomponent?
Is this only possible by adding some javascript magic to redirect to a 
component?

(How) Do people implemtn their error handlers so that they redirect a 
user back to the form where an error has happened in order ot let them 
correct their input?
I am not asking for form validation but for errors that happen during 
callback processing...

Any hints?

Joachim
