client side events calling listeners on the server. For instance we have a button. Having an interface to add listeners and managing ajax responses would allow writing similar code in a controller: def ajaxButton(): # may use it with a/c/ajaxButton.load b=BUTTON('PUSH ME!') b.addListener(lambda ajaxresponse: ajaxresponse.appendJS('jQuery(%s).hide();' % b.id) the above is just a stupid example, I hope it is not too confusing... I'd create a standard Json response encapsulating the payload of js, page headers, and a list of maps of the tipe {id: <element id>, {html: <replacement>, onreadyjs: <javascript on element ready>}}. A javascript function (on the client) would take care of reading the Json response and take appropriate actions. > > I think while we lack server-side events we actually have a system for > handling client side events using jQuery and LOAD.
