Periodically Refresh a partial view ( ASP.Net MVC)

Question

I need a periodic refresh of .Net's partial view. It is working with Ajax.ActionLink, is there a similar feature for periodic refresh? Can I do it without using jQuery?

Zen, you could do it by a code like this:

function loadPartialView() {
   $.ajax({
    url: "@Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName")",
    type: 'GET', // <-- make a async request by GET
    dataType: 'html', // <-- to expect an html response
    success: function(result) {
                $('#YourDiv').html(result);
             }
   });
}

$(function() {

   loadPartialView(); // first time

   // re-call the function each 5 seconds
   window.setInterval("loadPartialView()", 5000);

});

Remember your Action should return a PartialView. I hope it helps you!
