This is correct. Still it is possible to do what the original poster
requested. The trick is to assign the periodical updater to a
variable, not on the smalltalk side but on the JavaScript side. This
can be done like this:
html periodical
configMsg1;
configMsg2;
configMsg3;
assignLocalTo: 'per'
Now in a different rendering pass you can reference the existing
periodical updater (and not creating a new one) by doing something
like this:
html periodical
alias: 'per';
configMsg4;
configMsg5
Hope this helps.
