         * ajaxButton tag, this is a modified version of the default
         * grails submitToRemote tag to work with grails webflows.
         * Usage is identical to submitToRemote with the only exception
         * that a 'name' form element attribute is required. E.g.
         * <wizard:ajaxButton name="myAction" value="myButton ... />
         *
         * you can also provide a javascript function to execute after
         * success. This behaviour differs from the default 'after'
         * action which always fires after a button press...

                 * handle and submit the form properly. In order to support webflows
                 * this method modifies two parts of a 'normal' submitToRemote button:
                 *
                 * 1) replace 'this' with 'this.form' as the 'this' selector in a button
                 *    action refers to the button and / or the action upon that button.
                 *    However, it should point to the form the button is part of as the
                 *    the button should submit the form data.
                 * 2) prepend the button name to the serialized data. The default behaviour
                 *    of submitToRemote is to remove the element name altogether, while
                 *    the grails webflow expects a parameter _eventId_BUTTONNAME to execute
                 *    the appropriate webflow action. Hence, we are going to prepend the
                 *    serialized formdata with an _eventId_BUTTONNAME parameter.

         * initial page to redirect to the first wizard form to enter
         * the webflow correctly. We do this by emulating an ajax post
         * call which updates the wizard content with the first wizard
         * form.
         *
