Othman Ouahbi has a very nice example on his blog on creating automatic updating select-boxes with Ajax.
If you change the first select-box, it updates the next selectbox accordingly.

Ahsanul Bari created a nice list of links to articles on the use of Ajax in CakePHP. Some of the parts covered are:

  • Getting Started
  • AutoComplete
  • Ajax Redirect
  • Ajax Validation
  • Encoding
  • Ajax Uploader
