Re: Jquery Help

You can include whatever JS you need like this:

http://book.cakephp.org/view/1589/script

its pretty straightforward. Just add in the script in either the
layout ctp or the view. Bit of fiddling about to make sure jquery is
added before the jquery dependent plugin and you are off.

if you are adding code you want just outputted to the page you can do
something like this:

$a = "
$(document).ready(function() {

//ACCORDION BUTTON ACTION
$('div.accordionButton').click(function() {
$('div.accordionContent').slideUp('normal');
$(this).next().slideDown('normal');
});

//HIDE THE DIVS ON PAGE LOAD
$(\"div.accordionContent\").hide();

$(\".open\").trigger('click');

});
";
$this->Js->buffer($a);

in your view, and then in the bottom of the layout.ctp file, output
the buffer like this:

echo $this->Js->writeBuffer();

make sure you do that below your echo $scripts_for_layout so you
don't fall over jquery dependency.
