1) Delayed start of the Ajax requests 2) Max frequency, when using decay I use Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater a lot, but two things that I've never liked is the immediate start of the Ajax request and the infinite growth of the frequency that the decay option introduces. I noticed that the infinite growth problem was tackled with a patch quite a while ago, but it never made it into the final release for one reason or another (maybe because it turned into a debate about variable names). Here is the ticket: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8184
Here is are two small wrap methods I use to enhance the current version of Prototype's Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater (1.6.0.1): http://pastie.textmate.org/141709 The code that precedes the call to updateComplete() is admittedly convoluted, but it was the best I could do without overwriting the entire method. You may have seen my previous thread asking about using delay() in conjunction with apply(), which I want to use in the wrapped start() method. Since Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater#start() accepts no arguments, it's not really needed, but I'm still curious about that one. Is this list a good medium to discuss this sort of thing or should I just be submitting tested patches and hoping they find there way into a future release? -justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
