I'm not Prototype expert, but the PeriodicalUpdater appears to be just for running an AJAX request on set interval--not for taking a chain and replaying the effects. There's a jQuery Plug-in called "jHeartbeat" which will allow you to invoke the same AJAX call on a set interval of time. You can find it here: http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/JHeartbeat/ -Dan
