Hi,
I have been struggling a bit to get a simple Ajax link working. I have
searched this group for help in older posts, but it seems like a key
tutorial (the grahambird one) is no longer available - perhaps because
it no longer works with 1.2.

If there is a tutorial somewhere that covers this, please let me know.
I think I have gone over all the available (through google) CakePHP
ajax tutorials, but unfortunately without success - some are outdated
(pre 1.2), others do not have full working code etc...

In any case, here is my code:
========================================
index.ctp
<h2>Ajax 3 - testing ajax link and button</h2>
<?php
        $link_array1 = array('controller'=>'tests' ,
                                                                
'action'=>'ajaxfcn1');          // the function to execute: function
ajaxfcn1 in controller tests

        $link_array2 = array( 'update' => 'divout',
                                                                'complete' => 
'alert( "Executed OK" )' );       // the div we want
to update

        echo ($ajax->link('this an ajax link', $link_array1,
$link_array2,'Confirmation String'));

        echo "<br/><br/>";

        echo ($ajax->submit('this is an ajax button', $link_array1,
$link_array2,'Confirmation String'));
?>
<br/>
<div id="divout">
the div to update
</div>
========================================
tests_controller.php
<?php
class TestsController extends AppController {

        var $name = 'Tests';
        var $uses = array();            // prevent cake from looking for a 
database
model

        function index() {

        }

        function ajaxfcn1() {
                        $this->render('index', 'ajax');
        }
}
?>
========================================

So basically I have a view with an ajax link, an ajax button, and a
<div>. I would like to change the text in the div when I click the
link or button. At this point, nothing happens when I click them. I am
not sure if the ajaxfcn1() function is even executing at this point.
What's an easy statement to add in ajaxfcn1() to determine if the code
is executing? What function would I use to set the new div text from
within ajaxfcn1()?

Thanks
