[Seaside] Page with entry fields in a form and anchors

[Karsten]

Hi James,

you might try to add a onClick: script to it, that triggers the forms. 
This will submit the forms and should still call the callback. though 
i'm not 100% sure if the submit button's callback will be executed as 
well, but i somehow doubt it.
just try it out.

Good luck
Karsten
