I am assuming that you're not storing any of this information in the database, otherwise it would be easy to call the page in a separate window.
So if that's the case, store the results in the session. Also, you can designate the print css with @media print inside your css http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_mediatypes.asp Hope that helps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of kdubya Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 3:07 PM To: CakePHP Subject: Open action in popup I have an application where I want a "printer friendly" rendering. My print() action has it's own layout. The action is called from a form (method=POST). I need all the input from the form to generate the stuff to be printed. How do I get the resulting stuff to be rendered in a popup window instead of the existing window? Is it something I put in the layout? (I'm not really good with javascript stuff) Is there a way to specify this using redirect()? I have looked around quite a bit and I'm drawing a blank. (Note: I do know how to open a popup if I have a link like <a href="...>. I just can't figure out how to do it from an action that processes the data from a form) Thanks, Ken Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
