Hello,
I want to load some html content that changes over time, so I need to
poll the server for changes from time to time. Could anyone point me
to an example of how to do this? The documentation I found contains no
example... I tried the following:
$.ajaxSetup( {
timeout: 5000
} );
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#podcast_items").load("podcast_items_updater.php");
});
But the load does not fire again after those 5 seconds. I also tried
including the ajaxSetup in the ready() block, and I also tried the
deprecated (according to the manual) ajaxTimeout, but none of these
seem to work.
The purpose of ajaxSetup is only setting global defaults for all ajax
request. The timeout option is used to cancel request after some time,
the documentation for $.ajax and $.ajaxTimeout should contain some more
information about that.
What you need is something like this:
function request() {
$("#podcast_items").load("podcast_items_updater.php");
}
setInterval(request, 5000);
If that doesn't yet do what you need: Have a look at the jHeartbeat plugin.
