So every five seconds it should update the view? This would call for a periodically call remote, or you could simply put an HTTP refresh in the head tag of the html, depending on how big the returned page is. Make sure you have the javascripts included for prototype (defaults) on the page, and then use the api as discussed here: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html#M001615 This will call an action you specify in the call, and this should replace the contents (innerhtml) of an id'd html entity...
