Question

I want to alter element when form is submitted without sending ajax request. And can’t figure out how to write it properly and generate code that I want.

In cakePHP view I have:

$this->Js->get('#testForm')->event('submit', $this->Js->get('#fastRegisterForm')->effect('show'));

And it generates:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#fastRegisterForm").bind("submit", function (event) {
        $("#fastRegisterForm").show();
        return false;
    });
});

And I want to have:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#testForm").bind("submit", function (event) {
        $("#fastRegisterForm").show();
        return false;
    });
});

I think you should setup it in a different way.

$eventCode = $this->Js->get('#fastRegisterForm')->effect('show');

$this->Js->get('#testForm')->event('submit', $eventCode);

Cake might be getting “confused” when you call another js->get inside of a js->get
