Hi Gangzheng,
Use the core ajax helper for that.
in your controller:
var $helpers = array('Ajax', 'Javascript')
var $components = array('RequestHandler')
in the view that is going to hold the link, create the link with the ajax
helper instead of the html helper:
echo $ajax->link( 'Generate Password',
array( 'controller' => 'controllername', 'action' =>
'generatePassword',
array( 'update' => 'id_of_div_to_be_updated', 'complete' => 'alert("Your
password has been generated") ' ) );
then in your generatepassword controller function make sure you send the
generated password to the view which you'll create in your views/controller
folder
$this->set('password', $new_password);
so you can print out the password in your view with
echo $password;
hope this helps!
