Hey there - I''ve got a problem I''ve been trying to find a
solution
to. I''ve got a page which contains a list of prices which are
gathered from various websites - however it takes a while for the
prices to be collected, so the page takes a while to load ( up to 30
seconds ). I''m looking for a technique for the page to load the
elements as they become available.
I tried this, but the result isn''t passed to the browser until
it''s
complete:
render :update do |page|
## Set all the prices to spinners.
for shop in Shop.find(:all) do
page.replace_html( "shop_#{shop.id}", "<span
class=''label''>#{shop.name}</span><span
class=''formw''><img src=''/
images/spinner.gif''/></span>")
price = shop.get_pricing(@item)
page.replace_html( "shop_#{shop.id}", :partial =>
"price", :object => price ) unless price.nil?
end
end
I''ve been thinking of setting a status of the price to
"loading",
then having an observer on the page to check every few seconds, but I
don''t much like the idea of a page asking the server for an update
every few seconds once the page is complete. So, is it possible to
alter the observer to stop observing once the elements are all loaded?
Or is there some much more elegant way to achieve this?
Cheers,
Dan

I''m guessing requesting the price of an individual shop doesn''t take 30 seconds. It would involve some handwritten javascript, but it will surely pay off in the end.

Thanks for that - I''ll give those methods a shot.
