Rails - Feb 2007 - observer in a view -> update a field? huh?

Help.

General question.  Need some background or a link to a tutorial, etc.

Got a value on a page.  The value measures time_ago_in_words since a
task completed.  When i load/refresh the page, the time_ago updates,
simple.

I want to make the time_ago update at regular intervals - essentially a
count-up of time.  All I really need to do is get the this task complete
date/time to refresh every 1 minute or so.

No idea how to make this happen - I would imagine something with the
observe_field helper?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike
