[Seaside] Re: Q on Periodical

[Lukas Renggli]

PrototypeJS by default does not evaluate JavaScript code (<script>
tags) that is part of an AJAX response. Unfortunately most of the time
you want such JavaScript code to execute, otherwise you wouldn't have
told Seaside to generate it. Thus Seaside changes the default
(PTUpdater>>#initialize) and makes that JavaScript code is executed by
default.
