Sorry, I'm new in ajax. What I want is to show an input form after the
widget is picked up and before it is displayed.
After the user filled my input form, I want the entered parameter to
be added to the widget request url and this url submitted so that the
widget is displayed.
My exact question is: how can I send the updated widget request from
within my html code that contains the input form?
If I send it like window.open(...), I get the default page
independently on what module and method are called in the url.

Thanks,
Sergey
