I want users click the links on the webpage with some ActiveRecord  
operations(and the content of the link will be shown in a new  
window),for example when someone click a article title,a new window  
will be open to show the article,and some value of the author of the  
article will be added by 1.Please tell me how can I do that,thanks.
