Hi Grant, It's probably wise to take a step back and look at your code with an eye on what methods you should be using. You should not be calling render in your view, or was that typo? Your message implies that you have table_contents.thtml and table_content.thtml, but I can´t really make out what you have or want to achieve.
Regarding ajax and not: There is no need to create 2 views for the same method, irrespective of the contents that is obviously a duplication. Just include the requestHandler component - you then don't need to do anything to have a layout for a normal request, and not for an ajax request. Generally speaking, it's unnecessary for controller or view code to be aware of whether it's an ajax call or not when processing a request. HTH, AD7six Please note: The manual/bakery is a good place to start any quest for info. The cake search (at the time of writing) erroneously reports less/no results for the google group. The wiki may contain incorrect info - read at your own risk (it's mainly user submitted) :) You may get your answer quicker by asking on the IRC Channel (you can access it with just a browser here: http://irc.cakephp.org).
