You shouldn't have to include ajax.js, you should just pass the
RemoteFormRequest in the dict from your controller, or put it in
tg.include_widgets in your app.cfg. (or not use that widget, see
below.)

No the remoteForm just does the "fill in a dom element with what got
returned" thing. I ended up abandoning it and writing my own widget
with javascript, that looked roughly like:
function button_pushed (action, id) { // called from onclick attribute
function callback(xmlhttp) {
text = xmlhttp.responseText // whatever your controller returned
}
function ajax_error(err) {
if (err.number == 403) {
window.location = "/users/login"
else
alert("AJAX error: " + err.number)
}
d = doSimpleXMLHttpRequest(action, {id:id});
d.addCallbacks(callback, ajax_error);
}
I also like the FireBug Firefox extension for debugging XHRs.
