This file should really be called the PrototypeHelper. The caveat to the AjaxHelper is that to use it, you must also include the Prototype and Sciptaculous javascript libraries in your webroot to make it work.

I prefer working with the Jquery javascript library. Out of the box I cannot use Jquery with the AjaxHelper. The Cakephp Bakery has a Jquery Helper, but it does not have the same functionality as the ajax Helper. I did a search and found Pquery. Pquery is a Php helper class for Jquery. It is on the NGCoders site and they even have a Cakephp version.

I think that the developers of Cake should think about how other Javascript frameworks might play with Cake. I will be calling the PqueryHelper the AjaxHelper in my applications.
