There was no caching problem. Only my surprise of the absence of a caching
problem. :-)

That is an alternative. I still prefer the method of xajax_tutor to this:

* It doesn't require an extra plugin
* It doesn't require extra setup
* It needs very few alterations of the existing code
* It has an automatic fallback to classic behaviour if you disable JS

The last point counts much for me.

For performance the eID method is probably best. But you have to do it all
without the assistance of the typical TYPO3 environment. Right?
