Simple new method with a periodical on WATagbrush

Hello everyone!

I want to add a simple method similar to this one below to WATagBrush:

WATagBrush >> time:initialRenderBlock
        self with: initialRenderBlock.
        canvas script: ((canvas periodical)
                                assignTo: 'my_periodical';
                                frequency: 2 seconds;
                                callback: [:r | r render:Time now ])

it would be used like this:

renderContentOn:html
      html div time:'Calculating time...'.

The effect would be the same as:
renderContentOn:html
html div script: ((html periodical)
                assignTo: 'my_periodical';
                frequency: 5 seconds;
                callback:[:r | html render: Time now]);

The problem is, when the page is rendered, "Calculating time..." appears but nothing more happens, the periodical is not there...

this is not particularly what i need to do, but works well as an explanation example.

any ideas?
i'm currently using
        VisualWorks NonCommercial, 7.5
        Seaside2.7b1
        Scriptaculous2.6-mb.8

thanks in advance, best regards
Leandro

Thanks Lukas!
I replaced
self with: initialRenderBlock.
         canvas script: ((canvas periodical)
                                 assignTo: 'my_periodical';
                                 frequency: 2 seconds;
                                 callback: [:r | r render:Time now ])

with:

         self script: ((canvas periodical)
                                 assignTo: 'my_periodical';
                                 frequency: 2 seconds;
                                 callback: [:r | r render:Time now ]);with: initialRenderBlock.

and it worked.
I appreciate your help a lot, greetings from Argentina
