similar to: How I can stop periodically_call_remote?

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

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 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,

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

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 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

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.

Hello all. Am I going totally nuts here and just want to check (Natch!) something. A normal check_box has two value posssibilities. One for checked and one for unchecked, the value gets submitted with a form.

in the mean time i am using a checkbox like this : <input type="checkbox" name="var[car]" <%= var.car ? ''checked'' : '''' unless @var == nil %> /> but i am sure there is something better than this in rails like <%= checkbox_tag ''var'', ''car'', :checked => true %> but this is not

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

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
