Hi everyona, I need you all…  
I`m having some trouble with popup. I have a form that has a link that opens a popup so that the user can make a search, then the result should be loaded in the form; to do so I need to pass some variables in the popup link, but if I do so, the popup doesn`t work.

So what I have is this:  
\<%= link\_to ‘Buscar Relacionadora’, ‘…/…/secretarias/search’,  
:popup =\> [‘Buscar Secretaria’,  
‘width=1000,height=600,toolbar=no,titlebar=no,status=no,left=500,top=300’]  
%\>

and what I need is something closer to this:  
\<%= link\_to ‘Buscar Relacionadora’, :contoller=\> ‘secretarias’,  
:action=\> ‘search’,:trabajador\_id =\> @t.id,  
:popup =\> [‘Buscar Secretaria’,  
‘width=1000,height=600,toolbar=no,titlebar=no,status=no,left=500,top=300’]  
%\>

Any posible solution?  
I wish I don’t need javascript…  
thanks!
