Bootstrap for Seaside question

>Bootstrap for Seaside is really cool, it allows to quickly build something that looks very polished. Thanks Torsten!

You're welcome. In return you should send give a screenshot and short description
for the Pharo success story page. The more showcases we have the better it is...

Regarding your question:

#tbsButton returns a button as the name says.

TBSButtonTag is a subclass of WAButtonTag because the offical examples
are also using <button>

  See http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-groups

But a button should also support #callback:

So it is not an anchor by default.

Make sure to have a #form: around it and #children is correct. Otherwise
callbacks will not work.

Note: you can also leave out the whole bootstrap wrapping part and use
Bootstrap styles directly, for instance with an anchor:

       html anchor
          class: 'btn btn-default';
          callback: ...
          with: []

Haven tested since I have no image at hand - but should work out of the box.

One could easily wrap this into a #tbsAnchorButton and "WAAnchorTag subclass: #TBSAnchorButtonTag"
supporting the same API.
Contribute code + tests if you like. I added you on STHub.

Bye

Once I have it complete I will provide some material for the page, gladly!

OK I got it working by putting it in a form. Thanks for that!

Whoa now I am out of my depth … I only know basic seaside and basic HTML (hacking it by hand in emacs), which is why your package appealed to me ;-)

Thanks for the offer and the confidence ! As I said, I am not an expert. But if I can lend a hand I will be happy to ...
