prototype 1.6 Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater executing old scripts??

Hello ,

I have a PeriodicalUpdater executing every x seconds and sends a ajax
request to update an element.
Each time it comes back, the element is getting replaced with some
html and and possibly <script>coolFunction()</script>.
This seems to work fine when for prototype 1.5.
However when I upgraded to prototype 1.6, it seems to execute
coolFunction() as many times as the request has been called.

For example: the PeriodicalUpdater has already send out 5 request
already without <script>coolFunction</script>, on the 6th one the
response has a <script>coolFunction</script>. Prototype will call
coolFunction six times.

What is the problem here? I didnt used to have it when I used
prototype 1.5

Any help is appreciated

Well that doesn''t sound right at all. Do you have an example page or
at least the HTML/JavaScript that can be used to reproduce this?

HTML:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body onload="start()">
        <div id="status"></div>
  </div>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



JAVASCRIPT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function start(){
   new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(''status'',
''url'',
   {
      method: ''get'',
      parameters: "action_word=checkTimeout'',
      evalScripts: true,
      frequency: 5,
      decay: 1
  });
}

function coolFunction(){
   alert("I''m cool");
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SERVER:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st response 5 secs
<input type="hidden" name="timeout" value=""
/>
2nd response 10 secs
<input type="hidden" name="timeout" value=""
/>
3rd response 15 secs
<input type="hidden" name="timeout" value=""
/><script>coolFunction();</script>100th response 500 secs
<input type="hidden" name="timeout" value=""
/><script>coolFunction();</script>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On the browser:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st response 5 secs
    nothing
2st response10 secs
    nothing
3st response 15 secs
    I see alert("I''m cool) 3 times
100th response 500 secs
    alerts gets called 100 times
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I know it doesnt make sense, but that''s what I''m seeing. 
Maybe I''m
doing something stupid but why did it work in 1.5 and not work in 1.6.

Re: prototype 1.6 Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater executing old scripts??

Someone else was just talking about the PU concatenating results
instead of overwriting them.

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thread/22249f33eed9876a#84d82d160cc6bc7c

If this is an error, it would be a very simple patch.
