Hi guys. I'm a jQuery newbie and naturally I have a question. :) What's the best way to do real-time AJAX calls? I'm developing a web app that has a functionality which is somewhat similar to Google Wave's "real-time blip editing feature". Well, you know that thing where we can see the blip being edited by someone else in real-time? That's the thing I'm referring to.
What's the best way to do that? One think that I can think of is to do periodic ajax calls using setTimeout() or setInterval(), but I'm not sure if that's the standard way of doing this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
