ok, I have looked for the past two days for an example of how to get
the stop method to work. I have yet to find a coheasive example my
code is strate formard. I have three sections to my site. The first is
the about section, second is a ticker section and third is historical
section. So when the user clicks on the ticker section this needs to
update every 15 seconds. The other two pages don't need to update. The
problem is when the user clicks on the about or historical page I see
the PeriodicalUpdater still runnning in the background on firebug.
My code
/**
* makePeriodicalUpdater function is a shortcut to the prototype
Ajax.Updater object.
* @param div the div that you want the response to be written into.
* @param url the location to send the request to.
* @param method post or get.
* @param method pars any parameters that need to be passed. These
should be in QueryString format.
* @param eval boolean that decides whether or not scripts should be
evaluated.
**/
PeriodicalUpdater: function(localDiv, localUrl, localMethod,
localPars, localEval)
{
objTick = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(
localDiv,
localUrl,
{
frequency : 15,
decay: 1.1,
method: localMethod,
parameters: localPars,
evalScripts:localEval
});
//turns the local div on
$(localDiv).style.display='block';
return true;
},
Then later in the code if the use clicks on the about link I have
if(request=='about')
{
...
code that hides the divs that are currently displayed
......
this.objTick.stop();
....
Then more code to display the about page
which goes to a just Ajax.Updater class.
.....
}
