At last, a fairly large hint. With the following code, when I put the Javascript inline, the effect works. Whereas if I put it in an external JS file, include that in the head and call the function (like shown below), it doesnt work. HTML Source !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

Hi Bryan, The docs for the PeriodicalUpdater[1] say that it supports all of the standard Ajax.Options[2], and so I would expect onSuccess, onComplete, etc. to work. But there's a note at the bottom of the PU docs saying specifically to use onSuccess since onComplete is hijacked for another

Hmmm. Well, that's odd, but chalk one up to Rails and its development/ test/production environments. The querystring at the end of the filename is there to force the browser to get a newer version of the script. That number is the current time in Unix time() mode, I think, or it may be
