Realtime updates

hi all,

i’d like to updates some values on my site in realtime as other users
change them. So when one visitor moves a slider the others will see a
value updated in realtime. How should i go about this? One thing i
can do is use periodically_call_remote to check if values have
changed. But i think this will be a bit inefficient as i need to
update about 10 times a second. I i would rather do a remote_function
that blocks (on the server) until someone changes a value. I’ve tried
this but the whole server seems to block (i’m using a condition
variable). What would be the ‘correct’ way to go about this?

thanks,
fokke

There is no easy way to do that, google for RealTimeRails or Comet to
see
about possible approaches

thanks, i fwill check it out!
