Opening new window is only possible on client side (either with
target=“_blank” or with some javascript magick).

I suggest you to go and study HTML first. After that you’ll be able to
easily
figure out how to do it.

UrlHelper.html#M000378

link_to “Busy loop”, { :action => “busy” }, :popup => [‘new_window’,
‘height=300,width=600’]

If you need to do it from your controller, you’ll need to use RJS to
do it:

page.call “window.open('”+myurl+“');”

The :popup parameter just does that. Also, you musn’t forget XHTML
1.1 has deprecated the _target parameter in favor of JavaScript.

While it’s good news that people are pushing standards compliance, this
isn’t
anything to do with XHTML 1.1. The ‘target’ attributes isn’t even
present in
the HTML 4.01 Strict version :slight_smile:

Gareth,

If you want link to open in another window, you supply A tag’s “target”
attribute with “_blank” value.

In Rails to render a link you use link_to helper. So, you just need to
pass
that “target=‘_blank’” to link_to function. link_to accepts html options
as
third param, so:

link_to ‘Cool site’, “http://mycoolsite.example.com”, :target =>
‘_blank’
