Rails - May 2006 - Can I send a redirect_to() call to a periodically_call_remote() function?...

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

i fairly new at rails (haven''t even tried out RJS yet) .. but
you''ll need to
send the equivalent of

<script>document.location.href=''/where/ever/you/want/me/''</script>

If you use

page.redirect_to(''someplace/else'')

the javascript sent back to the browser is something like

location.href = ''someplace/else'';

This should handle your redirect.
