Popup / New Window + Redirect_to + Rails

Question

Can I redirect to some URL from the controller and open the URL in a new window at the same time?

Answer 1

Not quite out of controller action.

Forwarding is an HTTP response with a status code of 301/302 and an empty body in Rails. Since the body is empty, you have no way to enable additional processing for the browser (e.g. javascript, etc., to open a new window).

Assuming you have a controller action caused by a hyperlink on another page, the best option would be to open this in a new window. Then the redirect target will be displayed.
