Rails - Oct 2009 - Passing parameter to open dialog using link_to_function

Hello all,
I''m having one fun time trying to past a parameter to a javascript
function using link_to_function.

This is what I have...
1. A simple project, controller, views, model.
2. Prototype Window dialog box installed.

What I''m trying to do is on the index.html.erb, instead of link_to
"show", project I''m using link_to_function "Show",
"project.show()''.
I want to past the project.id to project.show().  If I do
project.show(project.id), it blows up.

- index.html.erb -

<%= javascript_tag("project = new Window({
                                className: ''alphacube'',
                                title: ''Project Details'',
                                width:400,
                                height:400,
                                top:70,
                                left:600
                    });
                   project.getContent().update(''<div> foo bar
</div>'');"
) %>

<table class="searchResults">
      <tr><th colspan="6">CTSI Project
DB</th></tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Project ID</th>
        <th>IRB ID</th>
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Pi full name</th>
        <th colspan="2">Action</th>
      </tr>
      <% projects.each do |project| %>
      <tr onclick="highLightTR(this,''#ccc'',
''#000'');">
          <td><%=h project.project_id %></td>
          <td><%=h project.irb_id %></td>
          <td><%=h truncate( project.title, :length => 20 )
%></td>
          <td><%=h project.pi_full_name %></td>
          <td style="text-align:center;"><%= link_to_function
''View'',
''project.show()'' %></td>
        </tr>
      <% end %>
  </table>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I removed the Prototype window and went will jQuery UI Dialog instead. 
It was easier to work with and more examples in regards to what I''m 
trying to accomplish.
