Hi,
I am trying to generate a link to external site with GET parameters
( in new window).
I tried following code, but it does not produce any parameters.
<%=link_to "Open New Page", "https://www.foo.com/page/",
{:popup =>
true}, {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}%>
and
<%=link_to "Open New Page",
url_for("https://www.foo.com/page/",
{param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}) , {:popup
=> true}%>
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code or there is a
alternative way?
Thanks in advance.
Glen

Hi Shai, Thanks you very much for the detailed explanation! Now, I understand the behavior of link_to and url_for.

In addition, you should use Hash#to_query to create the query string and then escape the HTML. This protects your link from XSS vulnerabilities and the like: <%= link_to "Open New Page", h(''https://www.foo.com/page?'' + {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}.to_query), :popup => true %> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
