Wierd AJAX return

lstables

I am using AJAX to auto populate a Sub Categories select box, its contents depend on whats selected in the main Categories Select Box. It seems when I select a main Category and something is returned back, the Sub Category select vanishes and its replaced by an IFRAME of the homepage/index.php.

// INCLUDED IN THE MODULE CONFIG

'js_controller'=>'ProductController'

// THE ACTUAL ProductController.js

fuel.controller.ProductController = jqx.createController(fuel.controller.BaseFuelController, {
init: function(initObj){
this._super(initObj);
},

items : function(){
// call parent
fuel.controller.BaseFuelController.prototype.items.call(this);
//fuel.controller.BaseFuelController.prototype.items();
var _this = this;
$('#product_subcategory').change(function(e){
$('#form_table').submit();
});
},

add_edit : function(){
// call parent
fuel.controller.BaseFuelController.prototype.add_edit.call(this);
var origParentId = $('#product_subcategory').val();
var id = 5;
$('#product_category').change(function(e){
var category=$('#product_category').val();
category=category.replace(' ','_');
var path = jqx.config.basePath + '/products/getsubcat/' + category;
$('#product_subcategory').parent().load(path);
});
},

upload : function(){
this._notifications();
this._initAddEditInline($('#form'));
}
});

// THE MODEL

// Show Subcats
$fields['product_subcategory'] = array(
'label'=>'Product Subcategory',
'type'=>'select',
'options'=>$this->getsubcats($values['product_category'],$values['product_subcategory']),
'order' => '12'
);


// THE FUNCTION WITHIN THE MODEL

function getsubcats($cat,$sub) {
$subcats=array();
$q=$this->db->get_where('fuel_product_categories',array('category_name'=>$cat));
foreach($q->result() as $row) {
if($sub!=$row->subcategory_name) {
$subcats[$row->subcategory_name]=$row->subcategory_name;
}
}
$subcats[$sub]=$sub;
return $subcats;
}




All the ID's are set correctly in the fields!

Thanks

Are you able to navigate to jqx.config.basePath + '/products/getsubcat/' + category and have it return a result normally. Also, are there any javascript errors that appear in the console.

Are you able to navigate to jqx.config.basePath + '/products/getsubcat/' + category ??

Sorry i dont understand...

Are you able to navigate to the url that path is parsed to EG: http://localhost/project/fuel/products/getsubcats/a_category

Ahh I see sorry, Ye it just redirects back to the root and shows the homepage.

Sounds like it might be routing problem.

Any routes set that may redirect? I'm assuming you have a custom fuel controller of products with a getsubcats method? Can we see that?
