you could also use it in conjunction with requestAction to grab data from a controller outside the current scope, like so: $this->renderElement('some_element', array('data'=>$this->requestionAction ('/news/list_recent_news')); ?> or, you could place the request action into the element intself, so it becomes entirely self contained hth jon -- jon bennett t: +44 (0) 1225 341 039 w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
