Re: learning by example: twitter?

If you're using jQuery, have a look at the form plugin. It'll allow
you to painlessly have a form submit through an AJAX call. Ad you can
set up a callback function to take care of changing the display,
handling data sent back from the server, etc.

But, if you're brand new to Cake (or jQuery) realise that you're going
to need to take small steps at first.
