That's by design, it builds on the normal #call: mechanism.
To get an AJAX lightbox (without the blocking semantics of #call:)
have a look at the jQuery JQDialogFunctionalTest.

See the documentation in JQuery class>>functionName and read
<
http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries>.

Scriptaculous and jQuery are the same, they wrap a Javascript library
and make it accessible from Smalltalk. Neither of the two adds or
removes anything, it is a pure Smalltalk wrapper around Javascript
code. In both cases it is beneficial to read and understand the
documentation of the respective Javascript libraries.
