I used the same example you did and made the same mistake. The 2nd
argument to $ajax->form is the model, not the form method. Instead of
'post', you need your model name (author?) there.
Also, I don't think you need $ajax->submit. $form->end('Add') does the
right thing.
Your controller looks fine. I didn't initially understand what the 2nd
arg to $this->render('view','ajax') did, but it's easy to find in the
code. The 2nd arg is the layout, so instead of default.ctp, which
presumably has your page frame and navigation, it uses ajax.ctp, which
has exactly nothing around your view.
Glad I could help.
