[development] Ahah issues

[Richard Morse]

Heh. This was my exact question...

Returning settings as a part of the drupal_json call requires overriding the javascript provided by core. ahah_helper and quicktabs both include the code needed in their javascript files.

I prefer the solution used by filefield. That module adds the javascript necessary to extend the Drupal.settings object, which seems to me to be a bit cleaner (if Drupal core changes how they handle the ahah, you don't need to update your local javascript). The file to look at is filefield.widget.inc, v1.7, the filefield_js function.

HTH,
Ricky
