Body
I have a variable for the background-image attribute of an element that I need to modify every 60 seconds by some backend logic in a rails app. How can you get a variable or method value from a helper on into the css for a view? Presently I have a helper that culls a an updated URL from another source. I need to trigger this helper call every minute in order to get an updated URL for the source image that's being masked by the following css: <pre><code>.bg { background-image: url(http://mydomain.tld/someimage.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 203%; background-position: top left; width: 256px; height: 256px; } </code></pre> The <code>background-image url</code> is what needs to be refreshed on the minute.

1. COSounds like inline css would be the way to go here since it's checking/changing on each load.

2. COTo top it off, I need to actually modify it every 60 seconds. Presently I'm using js to append a timestamp at a given interval and that's working well right now for the img src's.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
