i'm talking about the server-side. the example that you wrote doesnt work,
because when the function is rendered, the following happens:

    @property
    def arguments(self):
        args = inspect.getargspec(self.function)[0]
        if args[0] is 'self':
            del args[0]
        return args

    def render(self):
        return self.function(*[x for x in ['self'] + self.arguments])

the value of the parameter self is not longer the form, its only a string
with the content 'self'. but even if it was not that way, a self doesnt
exist because the jsfunctions are added in the class description. the thing
one would have to do is register those functions in the update-method for
example and additionaly change the render-method of the jsfunction. this
works but this is what i meant when i wrote hacky.

i think with global variables its the same. i want those global variables
have values coming from my form. so i cant use an external js-script file
and register it.

i first wanted to make a widget, but then i came to the conclusion, that
widgets should be atomic. if a widget is composed of more than one element,
then its a form. otherwise there would be no difference between those.
imagine the widget-switch from formjs for a widget that is composed of more
than one element. that wouldnt make any sense. so there will be a subform.
