Hi, this is simple to do, have a look #goto: in WAAnchorTag. However I strongly discourage you doing this, since ... - it will start a new session every time you click a link. - you will loose all the state of your application when clicking a link, e.g. most widgets won't work anymore. - waste a lot of memory and cpu-time on the server, because the url has to be parsed and all Seaside components have to be rebuild and reinitialized on every click. Yes, these two methods [1,2] are definitely the ones your are interested in. Let me try to explain the background of these methods: Seaside only parses the URL on the first request, else it will only perform the callback (as defined in [1] by #registerActionCallback:) and ignore all the rest. So why the heck I am doing so many thing with the generated URL, if Seaside is not using it at all? It basically makes it possible to preserve some state when bookmarking the URL, when opening the URL within a new window, or when sending it to friends. If the argument '_s' (Session) is invalid (mostly because of a timeout, or maybe because of a session-protector), Pier will try to restore the state from the URL and bring back the user at the right place. To conclude, you cannot shorten the URL in the anchors without scarifying functionality. That's life, Lukas [1] WAAnchorTag>>goto: aContext "Initialize the receiver to properly activate aContext when being clicked.
