Hi, I am trying to add a comments form to a blog post, updating the page with ajax, specifically using prototype.js. I've used ajax->form, however when I press the submit button absolutely nothing happens. I've tried the ajax submit method with the same result. If I submit the form without ajax it works fine.
my view code is as follows: echo $ajax->form('/comments/ add','post',array('update'=>'comments','url'=>'/comments/add')); echo $form->input('Comment.name'); echo $form->input('Comment.content'); echo $form- >input('Comment.post_id',array('type'=>'hidden','value'=>$post['Post'] ['id'])); echo $form->end('Add Comment'); the add action in the comments controller is as follows: function add() { if (!empty($this->data)) { $this->Comment->create(); if ($this->Comment->save($this->data)) { $comments = $this->Comment- >find('all',array('conditions'=>array('post_id'=>$this->data['Comment'] ['post_id']),'recursive'=>-1)); $this->set(compact('comments')); $this->render('add_success','ajax'); } else { $this->render('add_failure', 'ajax'); } } } and the created source is as follows: <div id="comments"> <form id="form283226270" onsubmit="event.returnValue = false; return false;" method="post" action="/blog/comments/add"> <fieldset style="display:none;"> <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="POST" /> </fieldset> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ Event.observe('form283226270', 'submit', function(event) { new Ajax.Updater('comments','/blog/comments/add', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize('form283226270'), requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'comments']}) }, false); //]]> </script> <div class="input text"> <label for="CommentName">Name</label> <input name="data[Comment][name]" type="text" maxlength="100" value="" id="CommentName" /> </div> <div class="input textarea"> <label for="CommentContent">Content</label> <textarea name="data[Comment][content]" cols="30" rows="6" id="CommentContent" ></textarea> </div> <input type="hidden" name="data[Comment][post_id]" value="7" id="CommentPostId"/> <div class="submit"> <input type="submit" value="Add Comment" /> </div> </form> </div> Does anyone know what might be wrong? I'd appreciate any feedback as I've spent a whole day trying to solve this and have no desire to quit the whole cakephp thing over something like this!
