Rails spinoffs - May 2006 - Can I send a redirect_to() call to a periodically_call_remote() refresh?

Hi,

I''m using Rails 1.1 and the periodically_call_remote() helper to
query the server for the progress of a long running action.

I''m using the excellent new RJS partials to send a page.replace_html()
to update the status information on the page--which works very
well.

When the action completes I''m also trying to send a redirect_to()
by the same approach--which doesn''t seem to work in that the browser 
window and URL bar are not updated.

Is there something special about the context of the 
periodically_call_remote() function that means I need to force
browser redirects in another way?

Any advice much appreciated,

Stu

There is a specific redirect_to for RJS templates, don''t remember the
method call off the top of my head, though.
