Don't use the JQuery-ready function in Seaside. This gives
unpredictable results. As Julian suggested use #addLoadScript:,
Seaside has its own mechanism to execute scripts. Also check our
JQuery presentation for additional information:
<http://www.slideshare.net/esug/jquery-in-seaside>.

That is a possibility, but often not that practical if you have lots
of different fine grande behavior and interaction back with the
server.

There is #onClick: at least in the latest version of JQuery for Seaside.

So in the end your method should look like:

renderContentOn: html
       html document
               addLoadScript: 'alert("aha")'.
       html heading
               level: 1;
               script: (html jQuery this
                     text: 'Njurko';
                     onClick: 'alert("gotcha")');
               with: 'Gurko'.
