Sihir, #ahah / #ajax özelliğini form öğeleriyle kullanmaktır, bu şekilde değişikliği neyin tetiklemesi gerektiğini ve sonuç olarak nelerin değiştirilmesi gerektiğini tanımlayabilirsiniz, ayrıca jQuery ile sorunsuz bir şekilde bütünleşir.
Bu, aşağıdaki örnekteki önemli kısımdır:
'#ajax' => array(
'event' => 'change',
'callback' => 'myajax_ajax_callback',
'wrapper' => 'dropdown_second_replace',
),
İki açılır liste içeren form tabanlı bir sayfayı gösteren bir örnek: ikinci açılır menüdeki seçeneklerin listesi, ilk açılır menüdeki seçime bağlıdır.
