from ajax to rails

Hi everyone:

I want to pass the next function to a rails in my view, because I tried it but the results don´t be succesful. Anyone can help me? I know that Ajax.PeridicalUpdater is periodically_remote call in ruby but don´t know how to put in my view for obtain the same result that the following function. THANKS!!!

<script type="text/javascript"> function lastSpy() {

            var target = $('imagen');

            if (!target) return false;       new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(target, 'http://localhost:3000/',{frequency:'0.25'}) }

       Event.observe(window, 'load', lastSpy, false);     </script>
