Re: Simple Ajax link to update div

it looks like your syntax is wrong for the ajax link . . .no
parenthesis around '$ajax->link' code either . . .check out
http://book.cakephp.org/view/212/Methods for proper syntax.

from the manual related to your code
<?php echo $ajax->link('View Post',
array( 'controller' => 'tests', 'action' => 'ajaxfcn1', 1 ),
array( 'update' => 'divout', 'complete' => 'alert( "Executed
OK" )' )
);
?>

in your controller function:

echo "Controller Executed";

as long as protoptype is linked up, then that should work.
