Is there any way to update elements of the webpage with multiple threads in an action?

I''m trying to update some elements of the webpage with AJAX, RJS, etc
by making threads in an action of a controller and trying to partial
render  the results inside each thread.
The problem is that rails wont let me have more than 1 render or
redirect per action.

Is there any possible way to do this?

Thanks!

This may be enough to get you started.

You can use render :update (though some people will shun you for  
doing so) and call replace_html multiple times.  Something like

render :update do |page|
	page.replace_html ''some_div'', :partial =>
''some_partial''
	page.replace_html ''some_other_div'', :partial =>
''some_other_partial''
	page << "some raw javascript if you want"
end

There are many things you can do with render :update.

Peace,
Phillip

Re: Is there any way to update elements of the webpage with multiple threads in an action?

I was actually doing that at the begining but id like to do that
render partial in different momtents. Each thread does something and
then they update a certain div in the page. This is more less the code

 def parse_services

    lfmthread=Thread.new do
          parse_service_1

        lfmthread.exit
      end

      ytthread=Thread.new do

          parse_service_2
        ytthread.exit
      end
end


def parse_service_1
      ...generate data...
   render :update do |page|
        page.replace_html :service_1_results, :partial =>
''tag'', :object => @tag
    end
end

Is it possible to do something like this?
Thanks again!

Re: Is there any way to update elements of the webpage with multiple threads in an action?

Perhaps rather than calling render from each individual thread, have
each thread send their results to some intermediary object. That
object would then call render only once when it had received all the
data from each thread.

I hope this is relevant. I''m not 100% sure I''m on the same
page as
you.

Re: Is there any way to update elements of the webpage with multiple threads in an action?

I definitly think that we are on the same page. Its just that an
intermediary object doesn''t help since the method of the object is
called from the action itself and we have the same problem.
Thanks again.

Re: Is there any way to update elements of the webpage with multiple threads in an action?

This is what I mean:

class Renderer

  def initialize no_of_threads
    @max = no_of_threads
    @count = 0
    @content_to_render = []
  end

  def addContent dom_id, content
    @content_to_render << {:dom_id => dom_id, :content => content}
    @count++
    if @count == @max
      output
    end
  end

  def output
    render :update do |page|
      @content_to_render.each do |content|
        page.replace_html content[:dom_id], content[:content]
      end
    end
  end

end

renderer = Renderer.new(2)

thread1=Thread.new do
  renderer.addContent :some_dom_id, (render_to_string :partial =>
"name_of_partial")
end

thread2=Thread.new do
  renderer.addContent :another_dom_id, "some more generated content"
end


render_to_string thing not tested - I saw it at
