Why not the google-like list of options, which are separated by ‘|’ signs.

Like you have in GMail:
Add cc | Add bcc | Edit subject | Add Attachment

Clicking on an option removes the option from the option
list and shows a new form field. This needs to happen
client-side (clicking on them should do whatever they need to do without server interaction).

(It’s also an example of a Wt widget)

looking forward to the results of your marriage experiment for GWT and echo2.

It seems that you assume that there is web development that says you need to go back to JavaScript/DHTML to be able to write a new ‘widget-like’ component (especially if it needs client-side event handling, right ?)

I argue against it: see how you can write a component (a tree list) in Wt (http://witty.sourceforge.net/) without any JavaScript or HTML knowledge. And yes, the component has client-side interaction !
