jQuery Load Function inside Zend Partials - zend-framework

Question

How would I use the load function and append data from a partial view using jQuery and the Zend Framework? Essentially, when I click "Show More", the data from my view partial (the word hey) gets appended to the container. End result = List, (click 'show more') hey etc.
VIEW
<script>
$(function() {
$('a').click(function(){
$('<div id="info" />').load('/partials/view #hey', function () {
$(this).hide().appendTo('#container').slideDown(100);
});
})});
</script>
<div id="container">
List
</div>
Show More
VIEW PARTIAL ('/partials/view')
<div id="hey">
<ul>
<li>hey</li>
</ul>
</div>

Answer 1

For this you will need to create an action, you cannot access the partial directly.
<script>
$(function() {
$('a').click(function(){
$('<div id="info" />').load('controller/some-action', function () {
$(this).hide().appendTo('#container').slideDown(100);
});
})});
</script>
Action someAction:
// do your thing if required
$this->view->variable = $data;
Send the request to action, make sure your view has no layout. use your partial in the view.
In the view (some-action.phtml):
echo $this->partial(
$partialName,
array (
'variable' => $variable
)
);
this way you will be able to utilize your partial.
