With Yii you can use one CActiveForm for collecting data for two or more models with ajax validation and client validation.

This tutorial will show you how to create Ajax dialog which allows to create new model, update or delete existing model. It works with simple links, CGridView button column links, adds a minimal amount of code and degrades gracefully with JavaScript turned off.

I used Zaccarias excellent article as the base http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/145/cjuidialog-for-create-new-model/

First follow the wiki above to create all the required code. Then make the following modifications in your...

I'm developing a website that has an option to look up a car's registration number via SOAP and return additional details such as make, model, colour etc.

Since I used CGridView for a first time, I didn't like how it handled operations like sorting, filtering, changing page and etc using AJAX.

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(

'id'=>'recipient_table',
    'selectionChanged'=>'updateEditForm',
'columns' => array(
	'rec_id',
            'org.nachname',
            'org.vorname',
            'org_id',
            array(

Often happens to have the need of change a part of the page with ajax.

Hello ppl. Even though i have a small experience with yii I though of writing this to help people which want to do something similar.

This example uses a MySQL DB with a table named tree with the fields id, name, and parent_id. The parent_id will be NULL for root elements. The SQL is kept simple (no autoinc, no FK, etc).

The easiest way to update content in AJAX is to use the renderPartial method.

"By Example" cookbook pages will provide coding examples for many of the commonly used classes within Yii. We will try to provide as many usage examples as possible for keep these pages as helpful as possible.

With yii you're able to create ajax requests and updates easily. But most times you always want to show a loading indicatior to your user.

Often you'll need a form with two dropdowns, and one dropdown's values will be dependent on the value of the other dropdown. Using Yii's built-in AJAX functionality you can create such a dropdown.
