I guess it is a problem that currently happens following:
If you hit the cancel button, the JS cancel function is executed - also
the sendPage function is called. But then some CPU cycles later the
woody function is called and it calls sendPageAndWait with the current
form as content. ... and as you may expect the latter wins ...
I think we have to make sure that always sendPage* the first call is
preferred.
