Zend framework 1 submit form url / action - php

Question

I'm working on a AJAX sign up form which will be submitted to the Zend Framework. Right now, the form's action doesn't seem to be executing. The response text is a duplicate of the current HTML document. Can someone please inform me of what I'm doing wrong, and what the correct URL should be? I've set the project up using modules. For example, should the correct url from the example below be: '/account/register/auth'
#application.ini
resources.router.routes.register.route = /register
resources.router.routes.register.defaults.module = account
resources.router.routes.register.defaults.controller = register
resources.router.routes.register.defaults.action = index
#application/modules/accout/controllers/RegisterController.php
<?php
class Account_RegisterController extends Zend_Controller_Action{
public function init(){
$this->view->register = new Account_Form_Register();
}
public function indexAction(){
}
public function authAction(){
$request = $this->getRequest();
$form = new Account_Form_Register();
if($request->isPost()){
print('submit');
}else{
print('nothing yet');
}
}
}
?>
#application/modules/account/views/scripts/register/index.phtml
<div class="register">
<form id="registerForm">
<h2 class="formHeader">Register</h2>
<div class="floatLeft">
<?php echo $this->register->fName; ?>
</div>
<div class="remaining">
<?php echo $this->register->lName; ?>
</div>
<div class="floatLeft">
<?php echo $this->register->uEmail; ?>
</div>
<div class="remaining">
<?php echo $this->register->aEmail; ?>
</div>
<div class="">
<?php echo $this->register->phone; ?>
</div>
<div class="floatLeft">
<?php echo $this->register->oPassword; ?>
</div>
<div class="remaining">
<?php echo $this->register->cPassword; ?>
</div>
<div id="formButton">
<?php echo $this->register->submit; ?>
</div>
</form>
</div>

Answer 1

As I said, maybe you should disable the view processing when doing AJAX action in order to return a json_encode($some_data) instead of HTML content.
Try
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
