Hi, I''m new to Ruby on Rails (and Ruby itself). So far, I''ve been able to find answers to most of my questions in the docs or mailing lists. One thing I haven''t been able to find the answer to is how to stop a periodically_call_remote call. My first Rails app is going to be a front-end for our Ant-based build system at work. While the build is running, I''d like to give the user status info. To do this, I''m using a scheme I found here: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2005/12/24/how_do_you_display...

Hi, I am still new to RoR, so please bear with this newbie question. I would like to have the application in view to press result back to the controller when the periodically_call_remote is called. Right now, this is the code in the view: <div id="get_result"></div> <%= periodically_call_remote(:update => ''get_result'', :url => { :action => "getlog" },...

When I do periodically_call_remote with e.g. :frequency => 30 after initial page load I have to wait 30 seconds until this partial renders first time. Does anybody know how to make ROR to render partial on web page load, and then start periodic calls every 30 seconds? I tried to put <div id=''mydiv''>&l...

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()...

...ation has multiple things on the interface that need to be updated periodically. Some things every second, others not so much. Some of these things are global, meaning they are on the interface at all times, and some of these things are view specific. So what I figured I would do is add the periodically_call_remote function for the global elements and another one for the view specific elements. The problem is, at times, there are 2 or 3 periodically_call_remote functions running at the same time. Is this bad for performance? Would it be better to call that function once and just pass it the view th...

I posted this ealier on the web forums but noticed a similar question about this function and one user responded to try this list instead. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate your suggestions. Q: Is there a way to use periodically_call_remote to run just one time instead of every '':frequency'' seconds? I tried putting the call inside the div container thinking it would be overwritten when the first remote call replaced the div contents but no such luck. I''d basically like to simulate link_to_remote but no...

I''m not sure how to ask this succinctly, so bear with me. I''m trying to learn how to use periodically_call_remote to update a div. I have a table whose rows have the data I want to display in the div, one at a time, every 10 seconds (let''s say). For simplicity let''s pretend each row just has one column, "description," which is just a text column. I have a partial, let'...

If I have this: /* JavaScript code */ function check(request, object) { if (request.responseText == '...

My ajax-application have folowing behaviour: Just 1 page loaded with 1st request and all other content always loaded into special DIV using ajax when user clicked menuitems.

Hi, I have a search box (id=:phrase) on my rails ajax page. I want a periodically call remote poller to update a div whenever the value in that box changes.

Hey people Is it possible to use periodically_call_remote and only update the html-element if the response is of a certain kind?

Like, only update if the status is 200. //Daniel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. Can anyone help with this? In a view, I have a text_field_tag( :mytextfield ). I would like to pass the current value of that text_field_tag to a periodically_call_remote - something like periodically_call_remote( :url => { :action => :do_it, :thetextval => :mytextfield.value } ) - Any idea how can I pass and/or access the value of the text_field_tag in my do_it controller? Obviously the :thetextval => :mytextfield.value does not work. I checked...

Can you do a periodically_call_remote to an action but then not display any new view? say the new action was called ADD. I don''t want to do an rhtml file for add, and I don''t want to render anything in the controller... I want to leave the page as it is. How is this done? Thanks, Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via...
