Is it possible to create a new browser window popup with an ajax
call? I want to open a new window and then trigger window.print()
like google docs and maps. I know you can create new browser popups
with link_to by using :popup => [''new'',
''height=300,width=300''], but I
don''t think you can use it with link_to_remote. Is there a way to
programmatically render some inline javascript? I tried:
window.open(''test/popup''
''mywin'',''left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0'');
But I was unable to load anything into the popup view.

If you''re new to RJS, grab Cody Fauser''s .pdf off O''Reilly.

Okay, thanks. Thats what I thought and I have been trying that, but I''m wondering, will this trigger the window action of the home controller? And do I just add a window view? Is it possible to populate that view dynamically within the popup ajax action?

Greg - this "works" but is flagged by popup blockers on IE and Firefox.

> Greg - this "works" but is flagged by popup blockers on IE and > Firefox. Any thoughts on methods around this?I don''t know if it helps, but I''ve noticed that browsers will let you open a window via JS, as long as the JS was called as a result of a user click. The exact same code will be blocked if it''s called by a timer, or some other non-user source.
