Im trying to use the link\_to helper to open a blank window which is  
basically just a framed window to display user info without all the  
extra distractions that come along with opening this window. Here is  
what I got:

\<%= link\_to ‘Airline Preferences’, {:action =\> ‘airline\_preferences’,  
:id =\> @user.id, :method =\> ‘post’ }, :target =\> ‘blank’, :onclick =\>  
‘MyWindow=window.open(‘airline\_preferences.rhtml’,‘MyWindow’,‘toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=900,height=500’);  
return false;’, :class =\> ‘page\_links’ %\>

But I get this error:

no route found to match  
“/enroll/airline\_hotel\_info/airline\_preferences.rhtml” with  
{:method=\>:get}

I do have the proper methods in my controller, so I have no idea what’s  
going on. Please help, thanks,

</div>

example from the api

link\_to “View Image”, { :action =\> “view” }, :popup =\>  
[‘new\_window\_name’, ‘height=300,width=600’]

adjust per your requirements.

It displays the right page, but contrary to the code and the :popup  
hash, it does not open in a seperate popup window. Thanks,
