you could use another div that would encapsulate jscode coming from
your controller to update the "data" div.
Using javascript such as insertion would allow you to insert data at
the bottom of the "data" div.
/**example template code **/
<form onSubmit="return false;">
<?php foreach ($tests as $test): ?>
<?php echo $html->Checkbox('Test/'. $test['Test']['id']); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php echo $ajax->submit('Add Data To Div Below', array('url'
=>'ajaxAddTests', 'update'=>'datacontrol')); ?>
</form>
<div id="data">
<h1> test data here </h1>
</div>
<div id ="datacontrol">
</div>
The ajaxAddTest.thtml could look like this (you can use any variable
set in controller for your data):
<?php
$ajax->div('datacontrol');
$js = "new Insertion.bottom('data', '<h1>My new data</h1>');";
$javascript->codeBlock($js, false);
$ajax->divEnd('datacontrol');
?>
Hope this helps
