Javascript Polling in Web2py

I have this code into my main view file:

    <html>
            <head>
           <script src="/app/static/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript">
            <script type="text/javascript">
                jQuery(document).ready(function() {
                    window.setTimeout(function() {
                        var url = '{{=URL('monitor.load')}}';
                        jQuery('#monitor').load(url);
                    }, 10000);
                });
            </script>
            </head>

            <body>
                <div id="monitor"></div>
            </body>
        </html>

In order to show into the #monitor div tag the data from monitor.load file:

{{=data}}

But, its put the data only once after 10 secs, then it doesn't update the data every 10 secs like I want...
if the data is changed in the controller, or is changed in the monitor.load file nothing happens...

You should use setInterval() instead if you want the code to occur multiple times.

Example:

setInterval("alert('hello!');", 500);

This code above will execute the code alert('hello!'); every 500 milliseconds from when the page is loaded until it is closed.
