The ajax() function documentation is here:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/11/jquery-and-ajax#The-ajax-function
.
Note, the second argument does not do what you think it does. It should be
an array of <input> element names (not div id's) that are on the current
page (not on the page you are requesting via Ajax). The idea is that you
can specify some form variables to pass along with the Ajax request. In
this case, you can just use an empty array (i.e., []), since you you aren't
passing any values.
To call the categories function without returning the full page layout, you
might consider creating a separate no-layout view for the categories
function that doesn't extend the layout (maybe call it categories.load).
Assuming you want to re-use that view for the main categories page, you
could then include it in the categories.html view:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{include 'default/categories.load'}}
As an alternative, in your current categories.html, you could do:
{{extend 'layout.html' if not request.ajax else None}}
That will prevent extending the layout in case of an Ajax request, though
in that case, that particular view will not be compileable.
