[Seaside] passing additional parameters to an anchor callback

[Johan Brichau]

Hi Lukas,

You mean like the code below? That would indeed avoid to put the  
values in a component instance variable.
So there's no mechanism to pass those directly to the callback then? I  
assume that if the ajax call was not received (and answered) by the  
seaside application that the webbrowser will not execute the anchor  
link? (I should check that...)

Thanks for the suggestion!

| tempvalues |
html anchor
        onClick: (html jQuery ajax
                                trigger: [ :values | tempvalues :=  
values ]
                                passengers: (html jQuery ...));
        callback: [ ... does something with tempvalues .... ];
