You can't do that (and don't want to). The Model-View-Controller pattern assumes the Controller is providing data (Models) to the View. Once the render method has been called the View is sent to the client browser. If you want the view to send data back to the controller you'll have to rely on HTTP and use links, forms or Javascript/Ajax.

Yep, Javascript/Ajax seems to be what he is looking for
