Open new window

Rails
1

First, I’m very new in rails, i’m loving it and didn’t encounter any
problems in the simple tasks i’m doing yet.

What I’d like to do is to open a new window containing the info of a
Model
(something like the show scaffold method) with a simple “close” link to
close the window.

Can someone please give me some directions?

thanks in advance.

In HTML, you use a link whose target is ‘_new’:

In a Rails app you would use the HTML options hash of the link_to
method to set :target=>’_new’.

with a simple “close” link to close the window.

Every window already comes with a standard “close” button at the top.
I’ve never understood why some web sites feel they need to add a
special link to help the user out.

But if you really want to do it, you’ll need a bit of JavaScript to
close the current window, then make a link whose href is
“javascript:” followed by the script.
