[Kss-devel] kss and response.redirect

[Radim Novotny]

There is plone-followLink command available (which actually sets 
window.location), so you can define hidden, empty <a href="#" 
id="somelink"> link in your template and use plone-followLink command, 
if needed.

You can use something like this:

    ksscore = IKSSCoreCommands(self)
    ksscore.setAttribute('#follow-me', 'href', 'http://plone.org')
    self.commands.addCommand('plone-followLink', '#follow-me')
    return self.render()
