This might not be of interest because it sounds like you are using the
default renderer rather than a template engine. If you're using just the
default renderer and plan to stick with it, the above technique seems ok.
But if you switch to a template engine, the 'html' psuedo-element probably
will not be supported by your renderer, but you will of course have the
ability to put your own javascript directly in the template itself.
