Using mootools request.html to load id element from external page
My question is similiar to this question How do you grab an element from a remote page using MooTools and Request.HTML?
I unfortunately am not familiar with mootools at all but am being forced to use it as a number of other components on the website rely on this framework.
I am trying to grab an element from an external page and insert that into a div on my page.
In jquery this is nice and easy $('#result').load('ajax/test.html #container');
The above question grabs an element but I don't see how to insert that content into my pages div.
I also need the element to reload the content every 30s开发者_运维问答ec which I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this using mooTools.
Thanks

var periodical;
var myRequest = (function() {
new Ajax('link/to/html',{
method: 'post',
evalScripts: false, update: $('id_of_element_to_load_contents_to'),
onStart: $('loaderDiv').setHTML(loader)
//^ this part just specifies an optional image to indicate loading at the loaderDiv
}).request();
});
window.addEvent('domready',function(){
myRequest();
periodical = fx.periodical(30000);
});
that's how you do it for 1.11
edited: just added the function to do the ajax request every 30 seconds
i assume the reason why the call doesnt even fire is because it isnt placed inside a domready function, it does not happen like in jquery where you simply place them inside a:
$(function() {});
