Sorry I should be more clear..
When the page is first rendered I have a table generated with content in it.
Once the page is up there are some selection boxes to allow you to filter the
contents of the table.
So the first time the page is rendered there is no ajax call, its just rendered.
When the user selects a filter, I make an ajax call to have the table
re-rendered without re-loading the page.
So my dilema..
My controller has the method bureauPage which has a view bureau_page.thml
This has a div inside it
<results_table>
$this->render('results_table');
</results_table>
When its first rendered it needs to render the table which I could do with
regular html calls or multiple calls to renderElement.
Now in my code when you apply the filter I need to update the results_table div
so in the controller I have
render('results_table', 'ajax');
So if I didn't user $this->render('result_table') in the view bureau_page.thml
I'd have to have to copies of the results_table php code, one when the page is
first created, and one when I need to update the div due to the ajax call.
Can you tell me a better way to do this since I may just be going about it all
wrong.
Cheers
Grant

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,

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).
