Hi,

Is there anyway in ruby to handle the browser window(like in  
javascript)? Or is there any way to implement the javascript in ruby?

Thanks in advance.

js executes in a browser. ruby executes on a server that is hundreds of  
miles away from the browser. When ruby finishes executing, the server  
sends a page containing html and js to the browser. The browser then  
executes the javascript and displays the html. Browsers only  
understand html and js; they don’t know what ruby is.
