Question

Currently in using Prototype on my site.

I was wondering if there is an alternative jQuery function, to this Prototype function:

new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('content', '/shouts/update.js', { method: 'get', frequency: 3});

thx,

Oded

Answer 1

Try

window.setInterval(function() {
    $("content").load("/shouts/update.js", function(data) {
        // Handle data manually. God knows what your update.js file is doing
    }));
}, 3000);

Relies on $.load and window.setInterval
