Bob's example is a good one.
Keep in mind you can only transfer strings from the client to the server and that it needs to be Javascript.
So, my best advice is that you check out Javascript manuals because you are trying to do more things on the client. Even if you use the Seaside wrappers, you still need to know what Javascript expression you are eventually creating.

Hm... you don't need that library to be able to use JSON.
I don't know what might be wrong with the expression above. My code is full of that stuff.

btw, width and height are functions in jQuery... did you try:

$(this).width() instead of $(this).width   ?
