Well when you type in a field and you check say the username field in real time using ajax to make sure it is unique your sending form data to the controller. Sometimes you just have to figure it out on your own and forget the helpers. Trust me it can be done to pass the form data to the controller when you "submit a form using ajax" <-hint google it

In the end I just needed to render the result. but when I added an ajax link in that rendered view to delete a file, It didnt work. AJAX just would not work. as soon as I abandoned jquery and just used AJAX->link it worked and I just had to make the file upload work with AJAX too..... this seems hopeless.....??
