How the hell do you close em off after the action is completed? Ta, Eric
I''m curious as to how to close a browser window opened as
<%= link_to(image_tag("new_organisation.png", :alt =>
''New'', :border =>
1), { :controller => ''to_dos'', :action =>
''to_do_pop_up''}, :popup =>
[''new_window'', ''height=500,width=800''])
which performs exactly as desired within the controller on submit
And my question is =>
after the record is processed...
flash[:notice] = ''Note was successfully created.''
if !(params[''id''] == nil)
redirect_to :action => ''job_dashboard'', :id => @job
else
render WHAT??? <--- THIS LINE NEEDS TO CLOSE THE POP_UP
end

Thanks Jim - that was exactly what I needed. I figured there had to be some render method to do that - I''d never have figured render :text tho. Thanks again. Cheers, Eric.

If a user has JavaScript disabled in the browser, it won''t work. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Well, in my current case, I have control over whether JS is enabled - so that''s OK. But out of interest how would we close the window otherwise?

Can''t... The only way to control a user''s browser is with javascript.
