You can see the advanced aspects at work in the ucw_ajax demos, which
I run at http://ucw.opopop.net. A useful task would be to try to
explain them more thoroughly and in the process backport them to
ucw-core, with a more "real-life" feel. (A warning though about some
of the demos: they are based on an old version of Dojo, which doesn't
work exactly the same with the latest browsers. Your best bet is
Iceweasel in Debian Etch.)

If you take that path, notice that I have backported to ucw-core basic
ajax functionality, but with jquery. (Here also, I noticed recently that
depending on browser, my code may not work! A correction is in the
pipeline.)

There are certainly other cases of not completely rational ucw code
you are welcome to hunt down.

Regards.
