ajax polling mechanism to update web application every second

kudos
127 Recognized Expert New Member
Hi! Im kind of new to ajax (but actually an old timer when it comes to javascript). I have the following question. I have a webapplication that will be accessed from an ajax interface. However, I have the following problem, my webapplication could potentially need to update itself once a second. Do I have to create a polling meachnism in my javascript that tries to connect to my application every second or so, or is there another way, for the webapplication to send a request to the ajax code?

Use setInterval() to repeatedly send requests. You may have to abort the previous request if it has not yet completed.

Hi, I am trying to put together the last major pieces of my project's puzzle. This is more website/client-side architecture than JavaScript syntax but I hope this is a good place to ask. I'm a little stumped with which direction to take and advice would be greatly appreciated. I think this is a generally interesting problem but I haven't seen a post this long here before :S I have developed half of the admin interface for an e-commerce

Hi everyone, I would like to be able to send updates to my web page from the server. If I understood correctly, this is not possible to achieve in a web environment, unless some sort of polling mechanism is used. I read a few articles and some of them suggest using some Javascript, while other suggest using Web Services. Some ways to achieve some kind of polling mechanism is on this document:...

Hello all, I have a little application that needs to poll a device (CAN communications) every 10 to 15 ms otherwise the hardware buffer might overflow when there are message burst on the bus. I would implement an interrupt driven model, but the external device (which is connected via USB) does not support interrupts therefore the device needs to be polled at a specific interval. So my question is how can I implement a "deterministic"...

Greetings! I was researching AJAX to provide a solution to displaying status messages while a long process executed. I found several examples online and was able to use their code to get a quick application working. However, when attempting to implement the solution, the AJAX calls weren't updating the screen like the examples were and seemed not to fire until after the long running process had completed. I found the only real...

Hi, I intend to use Ajax for a kiosk application, it's primary usage is to retrieve live data from my DB, it's a fairly small amount of data (5 fields, of small data size and limited to 15 rows). When I check my server logs I can see that the kiosk page has used a fair amount of bandwidth this month, this is obviously because a javascript timeout refreshes the data every 10 seconds. What I need to know is how to calculate the...

I'm using an async page to kick off a couple of asynchronous web services using the PageAsyncTask class. I'm also testing a progress bar that uses an Ajax UpdatePanel and Timer control to postback every 5 or 10 seconds and increment the progress. However, Is there a way to merge these two concepts so that I can check the status of the IAsynchResult.IsCompleted property on each task and update the UI without re-initializing my...

I'm developing an ASP.NET Page that processes some files, does some things to them. I'd like to have a gridview that displays each file, and it's status, if it's done processing, still processing, etc. The page runs for about a minute per file, so I was hoping I could use an AJAX UpdatePanel control to refresh the gridview as a file is done being processed. Is this doable?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
