how to make multiple ajax requests in cakephp

Question

Hi all, I want to make a new ajax request automatically while one ajax request is being processed (in cakephp), how can i be able to do that? I know that user can initiate multiple ajax request simultaneously, but how can i initiate a new ajax request automatically when another ajax request is made?

Below is the way, am calling one ajax function inside another, but its not working,

echo $ajax->form(array('type' => 'post', 'options' => array('model' => 'Thing',
            'url' => array('controller' => 'things', 'action' => 'xyz'),'update' => 'dy4', 'indicator' => 'ldng', 'loading' => ( $ajax->
            remoteFucntion(array('url' => array('controller' => 'stories', 'action' =>
            'keep'), 'update' => 'dy3', 'frequency' => 5))))));echo $form->input('a', array('type' => 'checkbox'));echo $form->input('b', array('type' => 'checkbox')); echo $form->end('RUN');

Answer 1

Go to CakePHP coockbook and look at callback options. Choose 'before', 'loading', 'complete' or whatever suits you. You'll probably have to write ajax in javascript for those parameters.

Answer 2

Just chain the javascript calls.
