If you want to open the window conditionally, depending upon successful submission of your form you might:

  • Set remote: true on your form
  • Add a format.js { render :show, status: :ok } to your controller
  • Add a show.js file that runs window.open per the reply by Vishal

This is one way you can get started with AJAX forms

Did you try target sending target as _blank parameter in form_for not in submit button.

<%= form_for @my_obj, html: { target: "_blank" } do |f|

<div class="actions">
        <%= f.button :submit,:class => 'btn btn-md btn-success' do %>
          <i class='fa fa fa-plus'></i> Create New Window
        <% end %>
</div>

You have to pass target="_blank" in your form

for an example 

<form action="..." ...
onsubmit="window.open('google.html', '_blank', 'scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');return true;">

Try this one
