I cc'd the Seaside list where you should ask these things directly.
In the span you want to trigger an ajax callback & load using the
#onMouseEnter: method. It should look something like
html span
onMouseEnter:
((html jQuery id: 'GlossViewer') load
html: [ :h | self renderAnalyzedWord: h ];
callback: [ :word | self processWord: word ] value: html jQuery this
text);
with: 'myWord'
But if you have lots of words you should use the #on:do: method to catch
the hover events on the #TextViewer div rather than setting an event on
each span.
and you don't need to add it as a load script.
