6.0 news: element stubs before Ajax showing them

Dear all,

6.0 is in full action and here is one more "goodie", this one for easier
ajaxification of your web apps.

Element stubs are empty elements, which are then extended with real
content when you ajax update that element. You'll see a stub in HTML
like this:

        <div id=id23><!-- stub --></div>

From class comment: WebStubElement is an element which will be replaced
with a real one after Ajax update

Example

        u := WebStubElement newFor: #ajaxShowElement.
        (e addNilLinkText: 'update') onClickUpdate: u.
        e add: u.

This will show the element 'u' at the click to link by updating the
empty stub element.

Note that a method to generate a real element is as a symbol argument in
stub creation method.

Best regards
Janko
