[thelist] Time Triggered AJAX in ASP.NET 2.0

[Anthony Baratta]

Use settimeout to call the appropriate AJAX / JS function you are already using.

In such a scenario, I would have a master JS function that takes the form input (collates/folds/spindles/mutilates) and then passes that on to an AJAX function for server-side processing, and then slaps the returned data into the appropriate location.

Just set the timeout clock to call that master function, and it's off to the races. It would act as if the submit button was clicked.

5 Secs seems like a quick refresh. You really need it that often?
