Yes that will work, but....
I have $form->input('username', array('id' => 'username')). But I need the
model name to pass as a variable. Because on other pages
name="data[User][username] will be name="data[Post][title] or
name="data[Profile][name] and so on.
Js:
$.post('/users/ajax_validate', {
field: fieldName,
value: fieldValue
},
I want to grab the Model needing to be validated and change the js to
$.post('/ajax_validate'+myVarModel, {
field: fieldName,
value: fieldValue
},
So I can validate my fields from anywhere in the site with my function
ajax_validate in the app controller.
function ajax_validate($model) {
Configure::write('debug', 0);
if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()) {
$this->data['$model'][$this->params['form']['field']] =
$this->params['form']['value'];
$this->$model->set($this->data);
if ($this->$model->validates()) {
$this->autoRender = false;
} else {
$errorArray = $this->validateErrors($this->$model);
$this->set('error',
$errorArray[$this->params['form']['field']]);
$this->render('/elements/ajax_validate');
}
}
}

Try this: $('input[name="data[User][username]"]) ?
But we're better off by passing an id to the $form->input('username',
array('id' => 'username')).
This way, we'll be able to use $('#username') to access the element.
