[Seaside] adding parameters to updater

No, you can only update the contents of the tag identified with the
#id: as a whole.

#insertion: goes together with instances of SUInsertion. It is used to
add a new element into the DOM tree, either before/after the element
or within at the top/bottom the element identified with #id:.

This is always the #callback: block used to render the element.

This is the current JavaScript event within the Web-browser. It
provides the coordinates of the mouse-pointer, keyboard state, etc. It
is also possible to use SUEvent to cancel the event and stop it from
bubbling.

You can basically do what you want using the evaluator by injecting
JavaScript code into the page (untested):

    onClick: (html evaluator callback: [ :script |
       script element
          id: 'myId';
          addClassNamed: 'foo' ])

when you have a style-sheet with the class foo

    .foo { background-color: blue }

Since you can inject any kind of JavaScript using #evaluator you could
also try to do it directly with something like by not using what
Scriptaculous provides (untested as well):

    onClick: (html evaluator callback: [ :script |
       script add: (SUStream on: '$("myId").style.backgroundColor = "blue"') ])

Cheers,
Lukas
