I want to periodically execute a Javascript method, based on time (even if the user isn't doing anything in the browser, as long as the browser is opened to my page). I have looked at the contrib:Timeout but it APPEARS it only checks for the timeout if the user is doing something in the page (moving the mouse, changing form fields, whatever). I want my stuff to execute even if the user has walked away from his desk.
It seemed setTimeout was the obvious answer, but, something is eating the timers, it would appear. Maybe it is Tapestry, maybe it is the Yahoo widgets (I am using the Yahoo Tree widget on the page). I also found Prototype.js's PeriodicalExecuter, which is fine because I use Prototype.js on my page. It doesn't fire events either. Has anyone else had this problem? I will narrow it down to see if it is Tapestry that is eating the events tomorrow, hopefully, but, is there a better way to do this?
