yes and no. First you missed a return false. Without that the page may
get reloaded.
#view
DIV(A('click me',_href='#',_id='parent',_onclick("ajax('clickback',
['parent'],':eval');return false")))
#controller
def clickback():
return 'jQuery("#parent").html("%s");' %\
SCRIPT("alert('hello world');")
now the jQuery returned by clickback will be executed on ajax but the
second the SCRIPT inside the html will never be executed. But you can
do:
#view
DIV(A('click me',_href='#',_id='parent',_onclick("ajax('clickback',
['parent'],':eval');return false")))
#controller
def clickback():
return 'jQuery("#parent").html("whatever");alert("hello world");'
and now the alert will be executed.
Did this answer your problem?
the JS returned by the clickback
