In your controller, you need to $this->set('xml',$xml); Set the
layout to be blank (1.2 has an ajax layout that would work for this,
but I don't know if 1.1 does or not).
You need a view called get_events that does this: <?php echo $xml; ?>
Your jquery is calling Attendance/get_events, so there has to be a
view called get_events that returns the xml data.
I hope that helps.
