Well, the ajax support in Wicket is quite basic really. Just take a look at Behaviour/ AjaxHandler/ one of the concrete AjaxHandlers like DojoAjaxHandler. Generally, what they do is provide the means to let handlers cooperate with components (due to suggestions earlier this week, this was generalized into behaviours) and let them contribute header and body onload code.
The hardest part you have to learn is how each individual library (like Dojo or Scriptaculous) takes care of ajax handling. And of course, how to put things together in a nice way. The more people give this a try, the better our understanding will be of how we can support best. I think when we reach a level that we have done more complex ajax stuff (like what you want to do) and agree on the taken approaches, we can go on and create some more high level documentation on Ajax.
