How to delete periodically_call_remote from the DOM

Rails
1

I have set up a periodically call remote on a page. To get it to stop
calling I have made it reliant on a hidden element being populated
with some value, this is all working.

But I want to actually delete the script from the DOM based on a
decision from the server.

What would be the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks

that should be possible with rjs, shouldnt it?
like that in the controller:
page[‘updater’].replace ‘’

<%= rails updater helper %>

One way to handle it would be to wrap the periodically_call_remote with
a

<div id="unique_id> and use RJS. Either page.replace or page.replace_html depending on whether you wanted to get rid of the div entirely or just some of what's inside. <p>hth,<br> Bill</p>

I answered this a couple days ago. Use Google G. and look for
periodically_call_remote and my street name.
