</div>Well, Seaside 3.0 has the JQAjaxifierLibrary built in, see<br>

I have been using successfully using this approach in various<br>
industrial applications since 2007 with PrototypeJS and later with<br>
JQuery. Albeit it has not gained much popularity in the wider Seaside<br>
community, I personally find it very elegant for the following<br>
reasons:<br>
<br>
1. You develop a normal application, you get an AJAX application for free.<br>
<br>
2. You do not need to mark components as dirty.<br>
<br>
3. You keep the full flexibility of how you structure your HTML.<br>
<br>
4. You keep the full flexibility of doing custom AJAX actions if<br>
necessary (e.g. to optimize certain updates).<br>
