RE: file uploading. problems with ajax and jquery

Ok for my use I have my upload function i stripped out a lot of code as it's
just going to make it harder to understand so I just left the save then
render part.

function manage_add( $showcase_id = null ) {

//do uploading other stuff what not

$white = array('my', 'allowed', 'fields')
if ($this->Entry->save($this->data, true, $white)) {
$this->set('entry',
$this->Entry->getImageInfo($this->data['Entry']['id'],
$this->Auth->User('id')));//set whatever data you need for the element here
$this->render('/elements/entries/new_image', 'ajax'); //all
we want to render is this little block of code
} else {

//whatever render error element / message /
}
}

new_image.ctp
//so here I just return the newly uploaded image since that's all I need but
you may may not need more that that
<?php echo $html->image('entries/thumb/'.$entry['Entry']['image']); ?>

So on your page if you have a target div say in the js response / success
place that where you want it to go and all you will get is the image.

Hope that helps.

I started with this method then moved onto JSON / AJAX responses as it
allowed more flexibility for me but every situation is different so I hope
it helps.
I'm no pro so you may get better answers

ok this is what i did

in my view and specifically in the div, where i want the uploaded
image to appear (told jquery to put it there in onclick), i included
this:

echo $this->element('previewProfileImage');

this ctp.-file is in views/elements/previewProfileImage.ctp

the content of this element is just for testing: (no idea yet how to
tell in the view: echo $html->image('profilepics/small/'.
$user['image_path']);)
echo "bla bla";

it works. but i still get all this other cake crap shown too..like the
sql and everything else...and not just "bla bla"

i'm getting nuts here....what am i doing wrong?
