      In the current theme - override single button so it looks different. (Boost does this already)

      View the manage competency frameworks page. Duplicate a framework. Verify the "Add" button does not change in appearance.

      Description

      When calling the ajax webservice script - /lib/ajax/service.php because AJAX_SCRIPT is defined, any webservice that is called will get the "_ajax" renderer by default. In any theme (boost) - unless we define an ajax renderer (can't extend the base one - needs to duplicate the whole thing) we will get the core ajax renderer which only falls back on the core_renderer (not the one from the theme).

      If we are returning some HTML as part of a web-service response, we are not expecting the AJAX renderer - it does weird things like removing all headers etc. The AJAX renderer also handles custom error formatting - but we do that anyway in external_api::call_external_function.

      So - anything that goes through /lib/ajax/service.php should prefer the GENERAL renderer instead.
