Description

An ajax "callout" tag seems to me to be a common need in web 2.0 applications and (IMHO) would be an excellent addition to the dojo tag lib. The dojo library supports a number of functions that could serve as the underpinnings. Below are some candidates (there maybe others):

http://dojocampus.org/explorer/#Dojo_FX_Fade
http://dojocampus.org/explorer/#Dojo_FX_Wipe
http://dojocampus.org/explorer/#Dijit_Dialog_Basic

Of course all of this could be done independently, but I think there's significant value in the integration with struts actions and the auto generation of javascript (however small it maybe).
