You can't use Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater, you need to submit the zone form the tapestry way, doing the periodical stuff manually. See: http://api.prototypejs.org/language/periodicalexecuter.html
I created a javascript function for manually submitting a zone form. These 2 things together should get you what you want. I actually implemented the same you are describing here just recently, so I've done it and it works. See my blog for the javascript you need. http://tinybits.blogspot.com/2009/10/missing-javascript.html On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 2:29 PM, cleverpig <greatclever...@gmail.com> wrote: > thanks! it's really good solution! > > in another side: > if we do some background-process such as "autosave" when user input a long > form. > we should use ajax.periodUpdater method to save data automaticly,but > this way only can use url as target without ability to submit form. > so where can we get the form submitted data? > in ajax way,it could be done with serialized form into json format,but > in the page event handle hwo to identify and process them? > > On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 4:43 PM, Ulrich Stärk <u...@spielviel.de> wrote: > > "Binding the zone parameter will cause the form submission to be handled > as > > an Ajax request that updates the indicated zone.
