Dunno. I don't use the JS Helpers. But, if you're using JQuery, it's
pretty simple.

$('#some_identifier li a').click(function(e)
{
var the_link = $(this);
$.ajax({
url: the_link.attr('href'),
success: function(response)
{
// ACTION
}

});
});

If you want to use JS to simply remove the LI, ACTION would be, eg:

the_link.parent('li').remove();

If, instead, your PHP method re-fetches the $elements and passes a new
UL back to the browser:

the_link.parent('ul').replace(response);

In the latter case, what I would do is create an element that's
normally included into the view. Then, in the PHP AJAX method:

$this->set(compact('elements'));
$this->viewPath = 'elements/some_name';
$this->render('element_name');
