Is there a convenient method to automatically refresh a specific section of a webpage in rails?
For example, if I have a part of the page that is expected to change frequently, such as the number of comments on a blog post. Is there an easy way to identify that particular part of the page (such as the div class it's located in) and have it update periodically, like every 30 seconds?
I know this can be achieved with complex javascript/ajax techniques, but does rails offer any built-in functionality for this purpose?
If not, what would be the most effective approach to accomplish this task?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
