I use an unobtrusive approach, with this prototype library:  
[http://livepipe.net/projects/control\_modal/](http://livepipe.net/projects/control_modal/) .

1. Put a normal link in your view link.
2. Then in the application.js just initialize it:

$$(‘a.someclass’).each(function(link){  
new Control.Modal(link,{  
[…]  
});  
});

hello:  
I have downloaded the file “control.modal.2.2.3.js” and put it in  
“public\javascripts” directory. Then in the application.js initialize  
it:  
$$(‘a.someclass’).each(function(link){  
new Control.Modal(link,{  
opacity: 0.8,  
position: ‘relative’,  
width: 300,  
height: 50  
});  
});

I have an action named “more” and its view “more.rhtml”.In my product  
view,there is a link:link.  
But when i click the link,this link behaviors like a normal link,not  
Pop-up a window.How do i manage it?

Dont’ know if still usefull.

If it behaves like a normal link there is an error in javascript or in  
loading the javascript file.  
Use a tool like firebug for firefox to check if everything is ok.
