[Seaside] wait for callback and use results of return value

[Johan Brichau]

Hi Sabine,

I assume you need to pass a callback function as argument to `getS3Data` that will be called when the result data is ready?

The following wraps the Ajax call in a function with one argument and passes it as an argument to `getS3Data’.
Invoking the function with a value invokes the ajax request with the given value.

html javascript 
		call: 'getS3Data'
		with: 
			((html jQuery ajax 
				callback: [ :var | var inspect ] 
				value: (html javascript alias: 'value')) asFunction: #(value)) 

Does this come close?
cheers
Johan
