[jQuery] Request from a newbie

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 21:08:04 -0700

I’m just beginning to experiment with jQuery and need a little help.  I’m using it to display reference data for one of our production teams, and the data changes frequently throughout the day.  Here’s what I’ve got, which works:

 

$(document).ready(function() {

       $.ajax({ type: "GET",

               url: "bentonite.cfm",

               dataType: "html",

               success: function(rpt){ $("#report").empty(); $( "#report" ).append( rpt.responseText ); }

       }); 

});

 

This is fine, but I would like to call the ajax script at set time intervals after the initial load so the team will always have the most recent data on their terminal.  What is the best way to: a) load the report when the page loads; b) refresh the data every X seconds; and c) allow manual refreshing of the report by clicking an html link?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Paul
