similar to: Remote function call & not render anything?

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'')

Can you do a periodically_call_remote to an action but then not display any new view? say the new action was called ADD.

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key.

Hi, this is my first post to the list. I''m still learning the rails framework, having done most of my previous web development in PHP.
