OK, I'll leave out $row_count for now. Put this markup in a view named
edit_ajax.ctp

<tr>
<td>Col 1 :: Row <?php echo $variable_2; ?></th>
<td>Col 2 :: Row <?php echo $variable_2; ?></th>
</tr>

controller:
if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax())
{
$this->set('variable_1', 'foo);
$this->set('variable_2', 'bar');
$this->render('edit_ajax');
}
