[Seaside] Asynchronous message sending andSeaside/Script.aculo.us/JavaScript/AJAX

[Rob Withers]

Thanks for pointing this out, Lukas.  I have a lot to learn with Seaside, 
and am now just reading the book.  I noticed there is a section on Comet, 
which I read.  It is good to know that async events can update the page.

Cheers,
Rob
