I started working on a chat program but, I’m having this problem

chatroom.rhtml

<%= periodically_call_remote( :update => "chatroom", :url => {:action => :chat }, :frequency => 2) %>

chat.rhtml

<%= @chat.room %> room.

<%=h @chat.chat %>

but, when I call chatroom it dosn’t work but chat does, what is the
problem here?

What does your chatroom action look like?

loose :update in youre call and set an actual

to
update the contents in youre controller.

def chat
@data = something
render :update do |page|
page.replace_html ‘new’, @data
end
end

now ‘new’ is a

in youre chat.rhtml file with an id=‘new’
or something more descriptive of course

I did what you said Peter but look at this,
try {
Element.update(“data”, “

Welcome to chatroom
Service

} catch (e) { alert(‘RJS error:\n\n’ + e.toString());
alert(‘Element.update(“data”, “

Thats what it show. Any clue what that means? Why is it not doing the
HTML? Here is what my controller looks like:

def chat
@chat = Chat.find(:first)
@data = RedCloth.new(I have done with and without this still the same)
"

Welcome to chatroom " + @chat.room + “



” + @chat.chat + “

render :update do |page|
page.replace_html ‘data’, @data
end
end

And here is my rhtml file.

Any clues?
