<span class="corners-top"></span>I have problems in understanding
this code. It is from the WAExampleBrowser. I added an additional
instance variable b to this class and changed the following methods.<br>
<br>
<code>initialize<br>
super initialize.<br>
self class: self allClasses first.<br>
b := 5.</code><br>
<br>
<code>renderChooserOn: html<br>
b := 12.<br>
html div class: 'chooser'; with: [<br>
html form: [<br>
html div: [<br>
html select<br>
selected: class;<br>
list: self allClasses;<br>
onChange: 'submit()';<br>
callback: [ :value | self halt. self class: value ]
] ].<br>
self allSelectors size > 1 ifTrue: [<br>
html form: [<br>
html div: [<br>
html select<br>
selected: selector;<br>
list: self allSelectors;<br>
onChange: 'submit()';<br>
callback: [ :value | self selector: value ] ] ]
] ]<br>
<br>
The question is: What is the value of instance variable "b" of the
receiver at the location of "self halt".<br>
<br>
The answer is: 5 - but why !? what state of the instance do I see
in the callback ?<br>
<br>
</code>I know that the Seaside book tells one: "Your rendering
method is just for painting the current state of your component, it
shouldn't be concerned with changing that state". <br>
