Scriptaculous is using exclusively WARenderCanvas (the new rendering 
framework) and not WAHtmlRenderer (the old one still usable and the 
default one too)...


To use it, you need the last seaside 2.6a3-lr.28, then the package 
scriptaculous
and in your application, you have to use specify in the instance side of 
your component
rendererClass
    ^ WARenderCanvas

if you want to make it the default for all your seaside app, put this 
method in WAPresenter...
After, the difference is mainly that you use cascading messages (it is 
to limit the explosion of WAHtmlRenderer protocol)

html div
    style:  ;  (<-- ;)
    with: [].


The order is not important exept for with: or text: that have to placed 
last (if I have well understood :) )
