erm, the same as you would set it to any other view:
<?php
function action() {
[...]
// inside your action
$myArray = array('tweet' => 'feep feep feep');
// or $myArray = json_decode($yourJsonObject, true);
// Set the variable just like any other var
$this->set(compact('myArray'));
// This will render the element in '/views/elements/element.ctp' with
the data in $myArray
// So you can access $myArray in the element just like a normal
view var
$this->render('/elements/element');
}

And how can I pass an array into the view? I do it in other parts of
my code just doing $this->render('element', $data) but it's giving me
an error here

The RequestHandler Component is not doing any requests, it just verifies
that the current request indeed is an AJAX request, so you can check in
an action and i.e. render an element with an AJAX layout instead of
rendering the whole view. You can of course generate the HTML with
javascript using the returned JSON object
(http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.template). But in my oppinion it is way
easier to do the data handling in the action, and just render the
element's HTML with $this->render() and use that in the success callback
of the jQuery $.post method, appending the rendered HTML into a DOM node.

hmmm I don't use the request handler to do my ajax requests, I just
echo out the response, would that work ? doing echo $this->render()?

Can you be a little more explicit? I have my ajax action set up that
will return a json encoded array. How can I get the html for the
element from my controller? Maybe some example code? I'm a bit of a
noob with this in general. Thank you.

The easiest way would be an AJAX action that renders the element with
the given POST data. The you can just use the rendered HTML and inject
it into the DOM.
Kind regards

Hey all, got a little problem here. I wanna do something similar to
what twitter does when you post a new tweet, that it automatically
adds itself to the stream. I have made an element for this, the
element receives my model data and sets it up properly but I'm not
sure how to pass in the data from Jquery (I receive a JSON object). So
what are my options here? How can I accomplish this?
