A way to 'reset' plugin timer

[lkuszaj]

Hello, Not sure if this is a bug or a feature ;) - I have a <time> tag that is updated using ajax but tag text is not getting unpdated using datetime attribute value.

Is there a way to reset plugin timer ? Or get inWords text to updated tag manually ?

Looking at the source, it looked like this could be done via $(el).timeago('action') using an action of 'updateFromDOM'.

I am also updating an abbr's title attribute on success of an ajax call, and then doing this after that: $("abbr.timeago").timeago('updateFromDOM');

This achieved resetting the timer based on the updated title value. Hope that helps.

@mmccaff's suggestion worked for me. Thanks!
