How do I refresh a gadget with javascript?

[Anthony Madray]

I have a gadget that display and allows updates of issue informations (these updates are made by Ajax post calls (AJS.$.post(.....)) .

I would like to refresh my gadget view to see these updates, by some javascript function.

As there is no "refresh()" function in the gadget API, I tried the resize() function with the "onResizeReload: true" option activated but it doesn't seem to work.

Any idea?

Ok I found, this do the reload:

gadget.showView(true);

To resize after reload :
//JRADEV-3464: Resizing the gadget after a considerable timeout to make sure bottom isn't cutoff

setTimeout(function() {gadget.resize();}, 500);

Thanks. That helped me.

This is  an old fix. Atlassian needs to create a better mechanism to do this as third party plugins are created dynamically at times  and need a dom refresh. Good Answer I found this as as well albeit a workaround

Can't you just update the DOM with your JavaScript?
