To use this tag:

Add: <%@ taglib prefix="sx" uri="/struts-dojo-tags" %> to your page.
The head tag must be included on the page, which can be configured for performance or debugging purposes.
If the parseContent parameter for the head tag is false (it is false by default), then the id tag is required.

Description

This tag will generate event listeners for multiple events on multiple sources, making an asynchronous request to the specified href, and updating multiple targets.

There's a bug in IE6/IE7 which makes impossible to use the target's attribute with a parent Div, because such Div's content's are overwritten with the tag's loadingText. Resulting in an "undefined" message in the content's, instead of the result of the request.

One possible alternative is to set showLoadingText="false" and set the indicator attribute to an element showing the desired loading text or image (outside the div).
