链接上的Rails 3弹出窗口

Question

I have link that naviates to certain controller and action: <%= link_to "Detail", {:action=> 'detail', :id=> person.id} %>

I want this window to be a popup window, do some changes there and after some controller action finishes eg action Save, I want to close this popup window. In earlier versions of Rails this was done bu :popup=> true which is already deprecated. How to do it in Rails3?

Answer 1

This is the quick and dirty solution.

<%= link_to "Detail", {:action=> 'detail', :id=> person.id}, :onclick => "javascript:window.open('page.html','popup','width=400,height=200');" %>

If you're loading jQuery you can be more eloquent and unobtrusive, or use something like this:

Hope that helps.
