similar to: periodically_call_remote forces asynchronous to true?

My application 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

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

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'',

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

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

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. On some "pages" I using ''periodically_call_remote'', but I can''t STOP it! Simple example: View: <div id="view"> <%= link_to_remote ''Stop tracking'',

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 not require a click and have it performed automatically

Is there a way to only run periodically_call_remote when a condition is true? I essentially want the ability to start and stop periodically_call_remote, based on a user initiated action. Thanks, John Cole

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. On the page containing the search box, I have the following: <%= periodically_call_remote(:url => update_query_topics_url, :with => "$(''phrase'').serialize()", :frequency => 1.0)%> I have also

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,

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''><%= render(:partial, :action=>''myaction'')

I need make progress bar with following function: # Ruby on Rails code <%= periodically_call_remote(:update => ''progress-bar'', :url => { :action => :progress }, :frequency => 0.1 , :complete => "check(request)") %> How I can stop it? If I have this: /* JavaScript code */ function check(request, object) { if (request.responseText ==

Is there any way to change the frequency of a running periodically_call_remote without having to reload the whole page? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey people Is it possible to use periodically_call_remote and only update the html-element if the response is of a certain kind? For example, is it possible to return different http-status codes to indicate if the element should be updated? Like, only update if the status is 200. //Daniel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I have the following Ajax call: new Ajax.Request(action, {asynchronous: false, method: ''post'', parameters: params_to_pass, evalScripts: true}); The action that I''m calling is using render :update to send back Javascript. When asynchronous is set to true above, then the Javascript is executed (because of evalScripts:

I trying to pass a variable to the call back function of when utilizing the PeriodicalExecuter function ex. new PeriodicalExecuter(refresh, 10); works but new PeriodicalExecuter(refresh(id), 10); works once then errors after the 10 seconds, I get "this.callback is not a function"

I''ve come up with a patch to PeriodicalExecuter which allows for pausing and restarting without losing the time remaining. I''ve searched for something like this, but the only one I found linked to a dead blog. I wondered if anyone would look over the code, maybe it will make its way into the official release. var PeriodicalExecuter = Class.create({ initialize:

Hello, in my app the user can click "start" to ask for regular refreshments of the data, and can also click "stop" to stop this refreshments (and then he can click "start" again to restart the process). im just wondering that , if he keeps starting and stopping, that is creating new PeriodicalExecuters and stoping them, if there will be any memory issues, does
