[Seaside] Dumb Question: How to render new state after ajax callbacks?

[Julian Fitzell]

You could use #refresh on either SUScript or JSScript (depending on
the version of Seaside) to cause a refresh of the page.

For example (in 3.0a5):

html submitButton
	onClick: (html jQuery ajax script: [ :s | s refresh ]);
	with: 'Refresh the page'.

So you could swap out a component with the following code, though I'm
not sure why you'd want to do it this way... (I guess it allows the
refresh to be optional depending on whether you actually end up doing
a #show: or not?)

html submitButton
	onClick: (html jQuery ajax
		script: [ :s | self show: WACounter new. s refresh ]);
	with: 'Show a counter'.
