Rails - Jun 2006 - question closing page after action

Hi all,

does anyone know of a rails command i can use so that at the end of an 
action, the page will close at termination? (i.e it would be the 
equivalent of a javascript <script> window.close </script> and would
look something like this

  def create
    @contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
    if @contact.save
    :action => :closewindow     ## or something like this? ##
    else
      render_text ''you have failed...''
    end
  end


thanks in advance,

s

You could use RJS to update an element with the enclosed javascript.
The browser should execute the javascript (I''ve done this with
redirection on remote forms on http://heartbeat.highgroove.com).
