all right, let me rephrase:
the page that i'm working with has a link that when you click on it,
it gives you a random single result. this i have no problems with. The
problem is that i also have a form in that same page that allows you
to add to the database. Below the form i have a div that shows all the
results. Because some people told me to (and i agree) i put a link
that toggles the div so that if you want to see it, you can but if you
dont care, it doesn't take up screen real estate. The default is to
hide it. The problem is that i want to update the div when the button
of the form is clicked.
the controller has four actions. the random part is generated by using
ajax and using an action called random. i have an action called add
that is used to save results from the form. since the form is in
index.thtml and the controller action is in function add() {} the form
looks like this:
<form method="post" id="frmAdd" class="addForm">
text field
echo $ajax->submit('Add', array('class' => 'submitButton', 'update' =>
'holder'));
*** there is a div around the form field named holder
i had to do it this way because otherwise the validation errors would
not work. i'm pretty sure the reason it didn't work is because the
tagerrormsg only works when it is in add.thtml.
the problem is that i want to update both the holder div and the div
where i show all the results, but i don't know how. holder div
displays add.thtml so it shows any errors and uses the add action from
the controller. the other div, the one that shows all the results,
uses another action in that controller.
so basically, i need a way to update two divs that use different
controllers when pressing the submit button.
hopefully that is more clear.
thanks for any help.
