... at least I hope it's simple for you guys. Clearly it's not simple
for me otherwise I wouldn't be asking here. I'm using 1.2.

I'm trying to get the structure of my app 'right' in terms of MVC
execution flow (and CakePHP's implementation of this flow). Here's my
situation:

I've got a page where a drop-down menu offers a number of options
relating to, say, the genre of books available in a small library. The
user chooses the genre from this drop-down and is then presented with
a table data relating to the individual books in that genre.

All easy-peasy coding. In the past (pre-MVC) I would simply have
included some logic in the page to say: if there is no genre selected,
then output a message telling user to select one; if there is then
output the books in a nice table. This would, as I understand it, by
an incorrect in terms of MVC.

So here's my quandry.

Do I 'set' the entire text of the table/user message in the
controller, then output it as a simple $variable in the view? The
disadvantage of this view would be that I need to include
presentational logic when making the table/message within the
controller.

I've got a feeling there's a cleaner solution! Please advise!
