I am having a problem with my AJAX form submit and can't quite see a
solution in the groups. I also couldn't find any recent (~2008)
tutorials on getting AJAX to work in CakePHP. I have seen some people
who have just gone on to use JQuery, but I'd rather not.
My problem is that the form data never makes it to the controller
($this->data, $this->params['data'] and $this->params['form'] are
empty.
I have enabled the JS and AJAX helpers as well as the RequestHandler
component. I added <?php
echo $javascript->link('prototype');
echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous.js?load=effects')
?> in the head of the default.ctp.
The div I am updating displays the echos and debugs in my controller,
so I know the action is triggering. Below is my view. It basically
allows the assignment of a one to many relationship (Project has many
Stuff, Stuff has one Project). Any ideas what I could be missing or
have some clues as how I can trace the issue?
-------------------
<div id="west">
<fieldset>
<legend>Projects</legend>
<table id="worksheet">
<?php echo $this->renderElement('active_filters');?>
<?php
$form_params = array('update' => 'status',
'model'=>'Project', 'url' => array('controller' => 'projects',
'action' => 'assign'));
echo $ajax->form('assign','post', $form_params);
?>
<?php
$options = array('legend'=>'','div'=>true,'separator'=>'<br /
>','value'=>'');
echo $form->radio('Project.id', $projects, $options);
?>
</fieldset>
</table>
</div>
<div id="east">
<table id="worksheet">
<tr height="20">
<td class="last">
<?php
$options = array('multiple'=>'checkbox');
echo $form->select('Stuff.id', $unassigned_stuff,
null, $options);
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Here is the dump of the $this->params array:
Array
(
[pass] => Array
(
)
[named] => Array
(
)
[controller] => projects
[action] => assign
[plugin] =>
[url] => Array
(
[ext] => html
[url] => projects/assign
)
[form] => Array
(
)
[isAjax] => 1
)

Here's the form created by the helper:
<form id="form1937661850" onsubmit="event.returnValue = false;
return false;" method="post" action="/app_name/projects/
assign"><fieldset style="display:none;"><input type="hidden"
name="_method" value="POST" /></fieldset><script type="text/
javascript">
//<![CDATA[
Event.observe('form1937661850', 'submit', function(event) { new
Ajax.Updater('status','/app_name/projects/assign', {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize('form1937661850'),
requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'status']}) }, false);
//]]>
</script>
