Re: showing data in a popup in aftersave()

ok I see I need to explain what I aim on to get an answer fitting with
the question in mind

1st you are right at all. php wont open an popup, and the usual place
to do so might be the view.

What I want to do is
if a new dataset is stored to the model,
I call the aftersave() function
from there I want to show the data stored within the process
to do a printout fitting the page

if i do a printout within the cake site I will also have the menue be
printed
so I am looking for _any_ way to offer a PrintDataset function inside
my app.
later on I might lookup to use html2pdf lib to get it as pdf, too for
mailing it...

if I use JS to do a popup window, will I be able to access my app data
within the window via $this-> ... or use the variable I set inside the
controller some like this:: $this->set('mydatatobeused', ($this-
>Customer->Request));

and do the js popup to call me a php file to show up with echo my
$mydatatobeused informations?

thanks in advance
