Adding table row with AJAX

Can someone please give me some pointers on this? I have a table. I
have a button that when clicked should called an action. That action
should return the HTML for a new row. The row should then be appended
to the table.

If I use 'update' in the options array the entire content of the page
is put inside the row.
If I use 'append' in the options array nothing happens.

echo $ajax->link('Click Here', 'edit/', array('update' => 'mytable'));

I have looked through the manual and found nothing. I reviewed the API
and followed the link to the definition of ajax->link but did not find
anything to help.

I have been advised to use jQuery. But I want to make it work with
what CakePHP recommends.

Thanks for any help.

echo '<tr><td>This is a row</td></tr>';

}
}
