How can I use Ajax auto refresh after I save a file?

Rails
1

I have open lots of windows one of which is the views files…
When I edit the code and save to see what is happening on teh html page
I have to hop back and hit refresh and hop back to see what went wrong
in code…

Can i have the page just auto refresh every say second ?? just for
development purposes ???

That would get annoying really quick once you start doing anything that
requires user interaction like filling out a form. I would recommend
that you just keep hitting reload after making a change. It might seem
like a pain now but once you get more familiar with Rails you will be
able to write more and more code with confidence and will not be hitting
refresh every time you make a tiny change.
