Answer 1

Yes interesting situation I think you should put your portion of display time in some partial and refresh it with jquery ajax call. So you need to refresh it with every second and also you can set frequency of that ajax call. Here is some code may be it help you.

Html code:

 <div class="time-rect-container">
   <%= render :partial => 'shared/time_portion' %>
 </div>

Code of partial of time_portion. It just shows time.

<h1>System Time</h1>

<div class="time-detail"><p><%=@time%></p></div>

Controller code:

def give_time

  @time = Time.now.strftime("%H:%M:%S ")

  render :partial => 'shared/time_portion'

end

And refresh this partial by jquery ajax call and I set frequency of it for one second and you can change.

$(document).ready(function () {
    setInterval(function () {

        $('.time-rect-container').load('/dashboard/give_time');

    }, 1000);
});
