So I am looking to have a view load a sub form for a quick search filter, I am using Mootools framework to load my page but the AJAX part of it works fine, my problem is getting the URL to my page sent properly since the controller assumes any path to be a new call to the controller and because of the modified page routing from cakephp I can't send a direct link to where my page is located either.

this is my code. the current code in the URL is the last thing I tried and doesn't work either I tried many ways to bypass this issue

CODE

<a href="#" onClick="myRequest.send();">Quick Search</a>
<div id="myElement">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/gfortin/robust/js/mootools-core-1.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var myElement = document.getElementById('myElement');

var myRequest = new Request({
url: '<?php echo $this->Html->url('app/webroot/files/form.php', true); ?>',
method: 'get',
onRequest: function(){
myElement.set('text', 'loading...');
},
onSuccess: function(responseText){
myElement.set('html', responseText);
},
onFailure: function(){
myElement.set('text', 'Sorry, your request failed :(');
}
});

//document.id('myLink').addEvent('click', function(event){
// event.stop();
//myRequest.send();
//});
</script>

any suggestions?
