Oh, this kind of stuff does work, I've used it in this context; but t's very different in my case:
The real problem is that addEventListener clearly does not work from inside of the LOAD component (not sure if it doesn't work at all there, or there is something weird in my case, though I simplified it to just a few basic lines of code). Since it doesn't work - all the code that I expect to execute - doesn't. But dom elements are referenced correctly, I checked. So there may be something very subtle about LOAD but I can't ask "regular" JavaScript experts, since I have little clue on how LOAD ajax actually works... Thank you anyway, I will keep trying... I guess I have to look into the way web2py implements LOAD to understand how to ask JavaScript gurus ..
