Re: Need help on password generation

Hi Gangzheng,

Use the core ajax helper for that.

in your controller:

var $helpers = array('Ajax', 'Javascript')

var $components = array('RequestHandler')

in the view that is going to hold the link, create the link with the ajax helper instead of the html helper:

echo $ajax->link( 'Generate Password', 

    array( 'controller' => 'controllername', 'action' => 'generatePassword', 

    array( 'update' => 'id_of_div_to_be_updated', 'complete' => 'alert("Your password has been generated") ' ) );

then in your generatepassword controller function make sure you send the generated password to the view which you'll create in your views/controller folder

$this->set('password', $new_password);

so you can print out the password in your view with

echo $password;

hope this helps!

Hi all,

generatePassword() in the controller. I want to create an ajax link in
such a way that user can click on the link and it will talk to the
method, take the password and display it on the textbox. Can this be
done?
