Hi, I am new to this RJS stuff. I want to make a page that has on it an inbox. I also want another box where the user can type a message. Then when a message is typed the inbox contains the new message and any others. Thus I need a periodical call to the server to check for new messages and a form with a text box to add a new message and look for new messages. I made a normal template that looks like this <div id="inbox"> </div> <%= periodically_call_remote :url => {:action => ''update_inbox'', :chatroom_id => @chatroom.id}, :update => ''inbox'', :position => ''bottom'', :frequency => 5 %> <% form_remote_tag(:url=>{:action => ''post_message'', :chatroom_id => @chatroom.id}, :update => ''inbox'', :position=>:bottom) do %> <div id="message"> <label for"message_message">Message: </label> <%= text_area ''message'', ''message'', "cols" => 60, "rows" => 3 %> <div class=''buttonPanel''> <%=submit_tag ''Send'' %> </div> </div> <% end %> This all works. Now I want to add an extra box to the page and update that when the submit button is used. Thus I thought RJS might be a better way to update everything. Therefore my questions are: 1) Can you add html to an RJS template. 2) Can you add a periodical call to an RJS Template Sorry it was so long winded just thought it would be better to add some background --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
