Thank you for your answer Massimo. When I implemented this. <button onclick='window.open("{{=URL("my_view",args=something.id)}}", "mywindow");'>Apply To This Post</button>
It shows me a button and then I get redirected to another page. I just wanted a pop up window open up with a form to submit that user can move around without being redirected to another page.
