Re: building tons of ajax links
well the specs are for ajax. they want the controls to not get redrawn just the data table. which looks awesome when they click on the controls and see the list change quickly. I made the links external links and applied the same behavior to all of them using getComplent().getParent().getModel() That seemed to make things a little better...

Re: building tons of ajax links
Hi, Do something like this: * create a form with hidden field(s) and a hidden submit-button, and configure this button to be ajax-submitted. * on page onload scan the DOM, and attach an onclick event handler to all the tons of links you want to do something on ajax. I'd use some javascript framework like JQuery or YUI to bind these event handlers, but some plain js code will do too. * when such a link is clicked, then put the parameters into the hidden fields of your ajax-form, and call the click or submit method of its button. If you really have 100s/1000s of such ajax links then you may consider using event delegation for better performance in the browser. But first just do the simple stuff.

building tons of ajax links
I'm supporting some code that builds an ajax link per tag aka. tag cloud. When there are tons of tags, this can take quite some time. My guess is all the overhead in having wicket build all the callbacks for each link. Is there a way to implement a group of ajax links that share the same callback?
