You can set a component to reload indefinitely and then stop the reloading
by doing:
jQuery('#mydiv').addClass('w2p_component_stop');
However, in this case, rather than continually reloading the entire grid
while waiting for the database insert, it might be better to simply poll
the server every x seconds, and only when the insert has finally occurred,
then do a single reload of the grid.
