Thanks, given my JS-fu being weak I might be better off starting with
what you provide. :)

Now, I wonder if using whalesong something like this could be integrated
with pure-racket code. Have you ever thought about something along these
lines?

Would you be able to share the code doing this so I don't need to reinvent the 
wheel? 

Thanks.

One Google search on the topic would yield a hundred more qualified teachers, 
including people who actually like JS, which I do not ;)

I have not used Whalesong [1] (Racket-to-JS compiler) nor Urlang [2] (JS with 
more Racket-like syntax, IIUC). You could use them with Pollen, I suppose, just 
like you can use any other kind of JS with Pollen. But they do different 
things, and would not join together Voltron-style.

If you want to see the JS, it's here, and it's garbage:

http://beautifulracket.com/functions.js 


There are a zillion ways to send form data to a server, most of which are 
better than this. So if you want to follow a model, you could do better ;)

I've been doing something like this on the preview pages at beautifulracket.com 
. But it's not a Pollen thing — it's just a boring 
web form that cooperates with a boring server script. Then I use boring JS to 
insert the form under the paragraph when someone clicks in the margin.

I do use Pollen to generate the paragraph-specific URLs, but that happens when 
the page is compiled, not as a browser scripe.
