Sure it can be done =)...I use it like this on a site (radio) which needs to update the currently playing track, the intervals have to become shorter and shorter to achieve this in the way I want...so I modified the source a bit...

first you need to comment out the following line:

// settings.multiplier = settings.multiplier < 1 ? 1:settings.multiplier;

this sets the multiper back to 1 if it's smaller than 1...we don't want that =)

not sure about that (see the original code to verify), but I think I changed something in here too:

if (timerInterval > settings.maxTimeout)
{
timerInterval = timerInterval * settings.multiplier;
}

if(timerInterval < settings.maxTimeout)
{
timerInterval = settings.maxTimeout;
}

I initialize it like this:

$.PeriodicalUpdater({
url: 'assets/load/load_ap.front.php',
method: 'post',
minTimeout: 80000,
maxTimeout: 30000,
multiplier: '0.75'
...and so on...

How can I use multiple instances of this plugin? I mean I want to have a periodical updater of 2 different divs' with two different sources.
Thank you! That's super!

Alas, Mobile Safari does not support JSON.parse, so if you want to use PeriodicalUpdater on an iPhone/iPod Touch, you need a workaround. jQuery 1.4.1 supports jQuery.paseJSON, so I changed line 126 of jquery.periodicalupdater.js to read:

remoteData = jQuery.parseJSON(remoteData);

how do you make this work with multiple log files and multiple #result id's? ie #result_1, #result_2 etc and multiple log files: /etc/httpd/logs/access.log, /etc/httpd/logs/error.log

Hey this is a great plugin, thanks! I was wondering if there is a way to make the data update, as new results are received, instead of append???

Thanks again!

Hi,

thank you very much for this script, good work! I wanted to ask if it's possible so set the multiplier to something <1, means after the first interval has run out, it will check faster and faster? could this also be limited?

thanks for your answer!
