I have done something similar by combining an ajax->observeField and a
regular form. Basically this is the idea in "pseudo-code" :
<form>
<input>
<input>
<input id="watchfield">
<div id="updateform">
</div>
echo $form->submit()
</form>
$ajax->observeField('watchfield', array('update' => 'updateform',
'url' => '/tests/updateform'));
The method upateform of the controller render a view that can contain
other <input> etc .... Observe field will pass only the field
"watchfield" value, if you need more "data", I made a small helper
that observeField but send a complete form ... (easy to do based on
the ajax helper).
Hope this helps
