Rage Refresh Timed Event

[Guest_imported]

Hi all,
I'm working with an E-business app that uses servlets.I need a JavaScript for a piece of functionality.I am checking a database to see if there is a new record.What I need is for it to keep checkig every X seconds (X to be fed to the JavaScript) once the time is reached it needs to call my check method.Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!!!

you can execute an action every so many milliseconds like so:

window.setInterval("string of js commands",somemilliseconds)

there is more on it here:
