You'll probably get more helpful responses if you explain what you're trying to do in English, rather than in code, particularly a code, the understanding of which, is predicated on the knowledge of a syntax and methodology which is not part of the Cake universe.
Also: Cake 1.1 or 1.2? Though the CakePHP documentation is not on the same level as Rails documentation, there is a manual which explains quite a lot. The manual is at http://manual.cakephp.org for Cake 1.1, and http://tempdocs.cakephp.org/#TOC12047 for Cake 1.2. Here's the gist of Ajax in Cake. 1. Ajax updating of web pages is handled by the integration of the Prototype.js and Scriptaculous.js libraries. 2. Integration of the libraries if achieved by use of the AjaxHelper, and the inclusion of the RequestHandler component. Read the manual to learn how to include Helpers and Components in your code. 3. I don't know Rails, but I know ruby, so I am taking a stab at your question in particular. a. It sounds like the method you want is AjaxHelper::Link (make sure to the js files in your layout or view). b. (Learn bout AjaxHelper at http://api.cakephp.org/1.2/class_ajax_helper.html <- This is the API. You have to learn to love it.) c. You call this method in the view with $ajax->link.
