Simplify how links are decorated [SWF-1283]

[spring-operator]

Rossen Stoyanchev opened SWF-1283 and commented

Currently links are decorated using code like this:

Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.AjaxEventDecoration({ elementId : "prevUrl", event : "onclick", params : { fragments : "main" }
}));

Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.AjaxEventDecoration({ elementId : "nextUrl", event : "onclick", params : { fragments : "main" }
}));

Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.AjaxEventDecoration({ elementId : "changeSearchUrl", event : "onclick", params : { fragments : "main" }
}));

This is quite verbose. Often the links can be grouped by the 'fragments' parameter and the rest of the information is boilerplate. The only other variation is whether popup true or false.

It would be nicer to point Spring JS to specific links with CSS classes and let it do the work.

Example HTML snippet: Next Previous Change Search

Example JavaScript snippet: Spring.addAjaxEventDecorations(params:{fragments : 'body'});

Note the use of two CSS classes for regular vs popup links.
