[Rails] Re: XMLHttpRequest and Rails

If you're set on doing the ajax through jQuery try adding this to your
page and watch the console logs in firebug (obviously replacing 'posts
and 'index' with the route to the model and action you're polling):

// poll the posts index every 3000 milliseconds logging the response
to the console.
setInterval(function() {
jQuery.getJSON('/posts/index', function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
}, 3000);

This is a pretty crude approach but should illustrate the basics of
getting jquery talking to rails. This does make a request for JSON but
there really isn't any reason you should be using XML over JSON at
this point. Hope that helps.
