Hi, Greg

Cool!  I like the way you do the how-to.  Do you plan similar how-tos 
for other JS libraries/techniques?  Would you accept contributions? I 
find myself looking at mochikit (http://mochikit.com) occasionally.  In 
its ajax-tables demo, it uses a tal(esque) syntax for dom manipulation 
in client javascript, which could be interesting for fans of page templates.

For the future, dare I ask, maybe some zope3 stuff?

I think the zope community really needs zope-oriented how-tos and 
evaluations of the various AJAX libraries.  zajax.net has the right name 
to be a prime focus of such activities, should you be willing to do that.

Thanks!
