[AJAX] #script: & #html: vs #onSuccess: & #load & #html:

Hi guys,

Today I have a discussion with Esteban Maringolo and it looks we are both
doing something different for a classical AJAX example. Consider the
typical example of a click on a button that should trigger the re-render of
a given DIV.

I was using #script together with #html:  while Esteban was using
#onSuccess:/#onError: with #load and #html:

I created a class for testing the differences. Very simple:

renderContentOn: html
self renderMyDivOn: html.
html form: [
html button
bePush;
onClick: *(html jQuery ajax*
*   script: [ :s |   **s << ((s jQuery id: 'myDivId' ) html: [:r |  **self
renderMyDivOn: r. **]) **]*
* );*
value: 'Test with #script: '.
html button
bePush;
onClick: *(html jQuery ajax*
* callback: [  ];*
* onSuccess: (  (html jQuery id: 'myDivId') load html: [ :r | self
renderMyDivOn: r.  ] ) *
*);*
value: 'Test with #onSuccess:'.
]


And

renderMyDivOn: html

html div
id: 'myDivId';
with: [ html text: DateAndTime now greaseString. ]


Both solutions works. But of course, they are different. The generated HTML
is different too of course:

<form accept-charset="utf-8" method="post"
action="/reps?_s=pbHnnKA9Ys-E9FtR&amp;_k=Wktdp8ek0iMZdSUY">
*<button
onclick="$.ajax({&quot;dataType&quot;:&quot;script&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;/reps&quot;,&quot;data&quot;:[&quot;_s=pbHnnKA9Ys-E9FtR&quot;,&quot;_k=Wktdp8ek0iMZdSUY&quot;,&quot;156&quot;].join(&quot;&amp;&quot;)})"
type="button" class="button">Test with #script:</button>*

*<button
onclick="$.ajax({&quot;url&quot;:&quot;/reps&quot;,&quot;data&quot;:[&quot;_s=pbHnnKA9Ys-E9FtR&quot;,&quot;_k=Wktdp8ek0iMZdSUY&quot;,&quot;157&quot;].join(&quot;&amp;&quot;),&quot;success&quot;:function(){$(&quot;#myDivId&quot;).load(&quot;/reps&quot;,[&quot;_s=pbHnnKA9Ys-E9FtR&quot;,&quot;_k=Wktdp8ek0iMZdSUY&quot;,&quot;158&quot;].join(&quot;&amp;&quot;))}})"
type="button" class="button">Test with #onSuccess:</button>*
</form>


I am not an AJAX expert, so I wonder what are the differences, which is the
recommended approach, and why.

Thank you very much in advance.
