Answer 1

I had same problem but in my case the id of the div tag in layout file was wrong. It should be "content".

Answer 2

Please don't forget to add the $this->Paginator->numbers() after you tell pagination helper that you want a javascript link instead of plain html

    <?php
$this->Paginator->options(array(
        'update' => '#content',
        'evalScripts' => true,
        'before' => $this->Js->get('#busy-indicator')->effect('fadeIn', array('buffer' => false)),
        'complete' => $this->Js->get('#busy-indicator')->effect('fadeOut', array('buffer' => false)),
    ));
    ?>
    <?php echo $this->Paginator->numbers();?>

Actually, there are example in the book here. Look for the Ajax Pagination section. Make sure to follow all of the directions and it'll work.

You need:

• The RequestHandler component to be loaded in your controller.
• The Js Helper to be loaded in your controller.
• You need to include jQuery in your view/layout.
• And you need to write the Js buffer ($this->Js->writeBuffer()) in your view/layout. It'd suggest putting this in your view unless you load the Js helper in your AppController because otherwise $this->Js won't be defined.

The example in the book uses jQuery and works.
