code sniplet: create a panel like this: <wicket:head> <script type="text/javascript"> function showProgress() { ! do the stuff here! } </script> </wicket:head> </head>
add the panel to your page(the javascript will be appended in head). created a attributemodifier: public class ProgressAttributeModifier extends AttributeAppender { public ProgressAttributeModifier() { super("onclick", true, new Model("showProgress()"), ";"); } } add that to your componet, this is a nice way of doing it I think.
