Hm... I don't catch a reason why this would not work.
Are you not getting any javascript errors in the browser console?

Of course you can. I just assumed you were implying a request to retrieve the value also server-side.

If you do not need the value server-side, I would not write that piece of JS using Seaside's jQuery-Javascript wrappers. You can either include the script in a function defined in an external file or write it directly in a string:

html button
	onClick: <entire js script in a Smalltalk string -- or function call to the script included in an external file>
