[Seaside] jQuery dialog question

[Jupiter Jones]

I may be wrong, but isn’t an imageButton a kind of submitButton - setting the url: would follow that link.

So clicking the button would open the dialog, then replace the page with "theSession helpUrl"

I’m not in a position to test this at the moment, but remove the url: setting on the image button and see what happens.
