AJAX/Javascript Question

What is the difference between these two:

render :js => "window.open(’#{url}’)

and

render :update do |page|
page << "window.open(’#{url}’)
end

TIA,

Actually, I am trying to update a element in a frame and open a new
window wit
a specific URL. The HTML is:

<%=link_to_remote article.title,
:url => {:controller => ‘three_pane’, :action => ‘click’, :id =>
article},
:complete => ‘eval(request.responseText)’ %>

The render in the action is:

render :update do |page|
page << “window.open(‘#{article.url}’)”
page <<
“parent.feeds.document.getElementById(‘#{dom_id(article.feed)}’).update(‘#{content}’);”
end

The preceding code does the update AND opens two windows to article.url.
The
following code opens only one window, but doesn’t do the update.

render :js => “window.open(‘#{article.url}’)”

I don’t understand what’s going on.

TIA,
Jeffrey
