[Seaside] inter component communication using AJAX

[Johan Brichau]

I'm not sure what exactly the problem is you are trying to deal with, but it vaguely seems you are trying to accomplish something I have described here: http://johanbrichau.blogspot.com/2011/09/ajaxified-seaside-components.html

In addition, take a look at jQuery (for client-side DOM navigation) and Announcements (for server-side component coordination)

Maybe it helps, maybe not…  I'm glad to answer any questions you might have if this describes what you are looking for.

Cheers
Johan
