function views_ui_ajax_get_form

Menu callback.

Handles AJAX form submissions similar to ajax_form_callback(), but can be used for uncached forms.

Ajax_form_callback(), the menu callback for the system/ajax path, requires the form to be retrievable from the form cache, because it lacks a trusted $form_id argument with which to call drupal_retrieve_form(). When AJAX is wanted on a non-cacheable form, #ajax['path'] can be set to a path whose menu router item's 'page callback' is this function, and whose 'page arguments' is the form id, optionally followed by additional build arguments, as expected by drupal_get_form().

The same caution must be used when defining a hook_menu() entry with this page callback as is used when defining a hook_menu() entry with the 'drupal_get_form' page callback: a 'page arguments' must be specified with a literal value as the first argument, because $form_id determines which form builder function gets called, so must be safe from user tampering.
