Hi, I have a dynamic score for each item on a page. I would like the score be reloaded for a certain time. I’m thinking about firing a link\_to\_remote every , say 1 second like this. link\_to\_remote "Delete this post", :update =\> "posts", :url =\> { :action =\> "destroy", :id =\> post.id } :frequency =\> 1 Too bad, there is no frequency in link\_to\_remote. Any other way I can accomplish this task. Thanks. ---

link\_to\_remote is really just meant for people to click on - not as a triggable event. Have a look at periodically\_call\_remote ([http://api.rubyonrails.org/](http://api.rubyonrails.org/) classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html#M000525) - it may be more what you’re looking for. Steve ---

Thanks for the reference.
