Let's not forget that all of the event handlers take ordinary JavaScript.
You can easily say 

onClick: 'this.innerText = "BlaBla"'

All that fancy scriptaculous stuff in Smalltalk just generates JavaScript
strings, so don't get stuck trying to figure out how to express everything
in Smalltalk.  Sure, it's nice, but sometimes you just need to drop into
JavaScript and do what you need to do.
