Not planned for Seaside-Core, but there are various jQuery plugins
available that do that.

>   2) What was wrong with the original implementation?

- It introduces a Smalltalk Javascript dependency into the core.
- It introduces a Javascript dependency into the core.
- It uses custom/hardcoded Javascript code.

>   3) Is there a better way of achieving a similar result in jQuery?

For one of these existing JQuery libraries there is even a Seaside
wrapper, which is probably the first jQuery wrapper written for
Seaside ever: <http://www.squeaksource.com/jqueryplugins>.
