I am not an authority on this, but I had a similar problem that I had to solve.
Basically, it helps to understand that an ajax call gets a simple text string back from the server. This text string is generated by the controller function specified in your ajax call. So really what you want to do is call a function that generates both updateimage.ctp & updatelink.ctp in the same string (separated with a known divider character sequence or better, embedded in xml tags ie.<updateimage>stringhere</updateimage><updatelink>stringhere</ updatelink>.) Then with the string returned, you would parse it and update the 2 divs. The theoretical way to do this in CakePHP would be to use the callback function "complete" that allows you to run code after the XMLHttpRequest is complete ( http://book.cakephp.org/view/211/Callback-Options ). But in practice I found it didn't work because there was no way (AFAIK) to obtain the ajax response string in it. In the end, I abandoned the CakePHP ajax helper and did it in straight javascript. It was much easier than I thought, and I learnt something about the inner workings of ajax. I think you'll find you can update the 2 divs very easily this way. Check the book http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ and the free sample chapter that will give you a template to work from for the ajax call http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/1825_01_Final.pdf On Oct 9, 9:43 am, Anna P <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi again! > I tried this way: > <?php echo $ajax->link('Frame product', '/products/frameimage/'. > $p['Product']['id'], array('update' => array('p-image','p-link')); ?> > so as the second argument I gave link. > But the problem is that I want to update two divs with two different > things (so I want to call two functions (two links/urls) and two views > for them).
