<a id="someId" href="somePage.html">Go to Page</a> and spring js ajax not working

[n30]

Using the following code, clicking on the link does not work. STS is not pointing out an errors and Firebug is also showing no errors. When inspecting the DOM, the <a ..>...</a>, has been replace by a div block and a span block for the Go to Page part. What is wrong in my code:

<a id="someId" href="somePage.html">Go to Page </a>
				<script type="text/javascript">
					Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ElementDecoration({
						elementId : "someId",
						widgetType : "dijit.MenuBarItem",
					}));
					Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.AjaxEventDecoration({
						elementId : "someId",
						event : "onclick",
						params : {
							fragments : "main"
						}
					}));
				</script>

My tiles definition is:

<definition name="myLayout" template="/WEB-INF/views/myLayout.jsp">
	<put-attribute name="main" value="" />
</definition>

<definition name="somePage" extends="myLayout">
	<put-attribute name="main" value="/WEB-INF/views/somePage.jsp" />
</definition>

in myLayout.jsp I have

<div id="main">
    <tiles:insertAttribute name="main" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
	Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ElementDecoration({
		elementId : "main",
		widgetType : "dijit.layout.ContentPane",
		widgetAttrs : {
		    region : "center"
	        }
        }));
</script>

I'm using a dijit.layout.BorderContainer as the pages primary container. Within it, I have a dijit.layout.ContentPane at region top for the header, another BorderContainer at region center, and another ContentPane at region bottom. Inside the inner BorderContainer, I have a fully populated MenuBar at region top and a ContentPane at region center. <div id="main> is this ContentPane. And there is, what seems to be, another problem. The containers are not rendering in the manner I'm use to. In vanilla Dojo/Dijit/Dojox, the containers have thin blue borders. But instantiating my layout via spring-js, there are no borders? Is this the default behavior of spring-js or am I doing something incorrectly? Also, I have the servlet.xml configured correctly. Before applying the decorations, all my links worked going through the AjaxUrlBasedViewResolver with view class FlowAjaxTilesView. My mvc:mapping is also configured and working correctly. I also have <mvc:default-servlet-handler /> specified to handle any other static content. Finally, I'm using a custom build of org.springframework.webflow.jar, org.springframework.js.jar, and org.springframework.js.resources.jar. My build of the three JARs is using Dojo1.6.1.

I don't think I've ever used a forum were help is so hard to come by. Even browsing the forum, there are so many threads that never got a response from anyone. Threads that are weeks to months old with no response. That is not good. Out of the many threads I've posted, I've only gotten one response.
