SUElement has that already. Try something like:

pusher javascript: (html element
     id: 'count';
     render: [ :r | r anchor callback: [ ... ]; with: ... ])

I don't exactly understand what you are trying to do. If you push code
containing callbacks, then all the connected sessions will receive
exactly the same string. This means all the callbacks will point (and
be evaluated) in the session that did the rendering. Moreover people
will be able to hijack the initiating session, as you just hand out
your private key to everybody. I don't think you want that, but
unfortunately this cannot be avoided easily.

What I suggest you to do is to just trigger an event handler in all
your clients so that they can make an update request on their specific
session.

Was this what you wanted to do?

Cheers,
Lukas
