I'm sorry if this sounds too obvious, but there has to be some
response (maybe it is an error or not); in your controller you have:
echo "made it!", where do you expect to see this? use firebug to see
the ajax request and the response and also the posted data. Also, if
you just want to update the database and not to render a view add:
$this->autoRender=false to saveOrder.
