it looks like your syntax is wrong for the ajax link . . .no parenthesis around '$ajax->link' code either . . .check out http://book.cakephp.org/view/212/Methods for proper syntax.
from the manual related to your code <?php echo $ajax->link('View Post', array( 'controller' => 'tests', 'action' => 'ajaxfcn1', 1 ), array( 'update' => 'divout', 'complete' => 'alert( "Executed OK" )' ) ); ?> in your controller function: echo "Controller Executed"; as long as protoptype is linked up, then that should work.
