using ajax to load views inside activeForm

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I have an active form widget and when somebody clicks on a button in the form I want to display the data from a partial view, and if it’s already shown, then I want to hide it/remove it.

When the form get’s submitted, I only care about the fields that are shown and filled in from the partial view.

view.php




<?php echo CHtml::ajaxButton('Box1', $this->createUrl('box1'), array('update' => '#box1')); ?>


<div class="form">


  <?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(

	'id'=>'box-form',

	'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,

  )); ?>


  <div id="box1">

  </div>


  <div id="box2">

  </div>


  <?php $this->endWidget(); ?>


</div><!-- end form -->

controller.php


public function actionBox1() {

  $this->renderPartial('_box1');

}

_box1.php (_box2 would be the same/similar)




  <h3>Box1</h3>

  <div class="row">

    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'box_message'); ?>

    <?php echo $form->textArea($model,'box_message'); ?>

    <?php echo $form->error($model,'box_message'); ?>

  </div>
