What is the difference between these two:
render :js => "window.open('#{url}')
and
render :update do |page| page << "window.open('#{url}') end
TIA, Jeffrey
Actually, I am trying to update a element in a frame and open a new window wit a specific URL. The HTML is:
<%=link_to_remote article.title, :url => {:controller => 'three_pane', :action => 'click', :id => article}, :complete => 'eval(request.responseText)' %>
The render in the action is:
render :update do |page| page << "window.open('#{article.url}')" page << "parent.feeds.document.getElementById('#{dom_id(article.feed)}').update('#{content}');" end
The preceding code does the update AND opens two windows to article.url. The following code opens only one window, but doesn't do the update.
render :js => "window.open('#{article.url}')"
I don't understand what's going on.
TIA, Jeffrey
