Refresh a view (from JavaScript)

The quick answer is yes, and the file that does it normally is ajax_view.js in the js directory. You will need to turn 'Use ajax' on; If you need a long answer detailing the javascript necessary that will take me a little longer, but in theory it should not be too difficult to study that file and figure out the command necessary to trigger a view refresh.

There's a Block Refresh module which refreshes a blocks content using JS. It has now been ported for D6 too.
Using this in combination with the Block Refresh module, it should be easily possible.
I am right now trying it out and will let you know if I am able to get it done...

Edit: I was able to successfully update a Views block upon flagging/unflagging a node. Along with Block Refresh I used the following code snippet given at the above mentioned article.

$(document).bind('flagGlobalAfterLinkUpdate', function(event, data) {
  block_refresh_manual(<name-of-the-block's-main-div>);
});

Please allow me to expand on this issue by asking whether there is a more simple way to refresh a view, like calling a simple javascipt function with the id of the view as a parameter.
For us less inclined with ajax it would be heavens! I would appreciate any suggestions!

done via component and custom js. Thanks.

can you provide an example or a little more info please?

of course.

1. install module "component"
2. add this js code (in my case, in external js file.)

/*update fav block*/
$(document).bind('flagGlobalAfterLinkUpdate', function(event, data) {
  var base_url = (Drupal.setting && Drupal.setting.basePath) ||  'if u work on localhost, puth the folder where u have drupal installed, for example /mysite. if not, leave it in blank ';
  function blockExistsOnPage(module_name, block_id) {
    var dom_id = 'block-' + module_name + '-' + block_id;
    return $('#'+dom_id).length != 0;
  }
  function refreshBlock(module_name, block_id) {
    var dom_id = 'block-' + module_name + '-' + block_id;
    $.get(base_url + '?q=component/block/' + module_name + '/' + block_id, null, function(newHtml) {
      $('#'+dom_id).after(newHtml).remove();
    });
  }
  if (data.flagName == 'name of your flag, in my case bookmarks') {
    if (blockExistsOnPage('views', 'name of views block, u can see it on views page, in my case: flag_bookmarks-block_1')) {
      refreshBlock('views', 'the same: flag_bookmarks-block_1');
    }
  }
});
/*wide?*/

done.

thanks, I'll give it a shot!

Not working for me

Excellent working examples here:

http://ucenter.googllers.com/home/space.php?uid=4&do=blog&id=54

One more resource, the Views Flag Refresh module automatically refreshes views via AJAX when certain flags are selected, so the code in that module is a good working example as well.

Thanks,
Chris
