RE: Controller members

Ok fair enough. So how does one use the $javascript->object() ?

I want to pass an array to a javasrcipt variable.

Thanks.

It's not matter of inheritance, the problem is that helpers aren't meant to
be used in controllers. The $helpers array only tells the dispatcher which
helpers to load when rendering the view. Try this:
controllers/ajaxtests_controller

function test() {
$this->set('myvar',$arr);
}

views/ajaxtests/test.ctp
echo $javascript->object($myvar);
