link_to issues with I.E.

It sounds to me like you are re-using the window object. Try opening the popup with a unique window name, possibly derived from the object id.

For example:

link_to "Open Show", { :action => "view" }, :popup => [@show.id, 'height=300,width=600']

Make sure the window name is _blank

                    <%= link_to(foo.name,                       { :controller => 'foo_controller',                         :action => 'foo_details',                         :id => foo                       }, :popup => ['_blank', 'width=720, height=250']) %>

There an alternative that worked for me:
