No, as mentioned if you just have the RequestHandler component included in your controller, it will use the Ajax layout when you make an ajax call.
The problem is that Michael is not making an ajax call - he is simply calling render() from the view file - which of course is still php and server side. 1. You can't call render() from a view - it is for controllers only. If you want to include a common view chunk, use renderElement. 2. If you want the result of a cake action to be included in your page dynamically (ie via ajax), then use either the Ajax helper to add a request, or write some javascript to do so. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
