no, nothing depend on it. I see now that there is a potential problem with the way i set up my throbber logic: there is only one available "loading" div for several zones. So if one zone is loading and another call is triggered, the "loading" panel will move to the second zone before zone1 is actually done loading. So i should create the divs each time or create directly as many divs as there are updatable zones, thus using a class instead of an id.
