Rails - Jul 2008 - How to render a template in a popup window from a controller action?

I''m trying to render a template in a popup window from a controller
action.  it would be equivalent to:

<%= link_to ''Manage Documents and Photos'', { :action =>
''manage_photos_documents_popup'' }, :popup => [
''Manage Photos and
Documents'', ''width=550, height=600'' ] %>

except instead of opening the popup when the user clicks on a link, it
would happen in response to a statement in a controller.

I tried using an xhr request with something like:

render :update do | page |
      page << "window.open(this.href,''Manage Photos and
Documents'',''width=550, height=600'');return
false;"
end

but with no result.

Any suggestions for how to do this?

Thanks.
