Yes, I'm a newbie in using Ajax and I don't use javascript a lot
either ( I didn't even know what JSON was :P ). I was trying to save
the value returned by Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater, which I realized later
that it's not gonna work. It only updates the value inside div
directly. In that case, I'm forced to go to a totally different
direction. Thanks Diodeus and Michael for your suggestions. I really
appreciate it :)
