set up AJAX listener (periodic refresh) with Rails?

Is there a built-in way to do a periodic refresh in Rails?

I would like to use setInterval() to make a g XMLHttpRequest call once a second. Does Rails support any inherent helper methods to make this easier?

Thanks! Chirag

ps. the pattern is described here: http://ajaxpatterns.org/Periodic_Refresh
