cakePHP Ajax view

Question

When setting $this->layout = 'ajax' cake still expects the view file for that action.

My question is, do I still need to create that view file, or is there a way to circumvent that. I don't wish to have ajax actions with one-liner view files such as '<?php echo $data; ?>'

try this in your ajax method. Then you don't need page for your ajax method

public function action_name() { $this->layout = 'ajax'; ... ... $this->autoRender = false; echo $data; }

$this->Layout !== $this-layout !

the above answer works ! Thanks! @mark, what is wrong with the answer? Or what you suggested is just another way of doing it ?

It implies that $this->Layout is wrong and the documented $this->layout should be used instead. And that one should mind the casing. I took the liberty of correcting the answer.
