[Seaside] jQuery variable check for onBlur

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

Hi again,

without having tested it, this may look something like

onSuccess: (
     (JSStream on: 'saveCancelButtonClicked == 1')
       then: ((html jQuery id:  'selectedComponent')  load html: 
[:renderer|  self  renderSelectedComponentOn:  renderer]))
       else: ....)

Please let us know how the code ends up looking once you solved. I'd be 
very interested to learn more about this.

Joachim
