Add redirect_to(url) helper

  def submit(evt)
    @task = Task.new(evt[:task])
    @course = Course.find(evt[:course])
    @course.tasks << @task
    if @course.save
      @message = "Task #{@task.title} saved"
      @task = Task.new
      redirect_to course_path(@course.id)      
    else
      update :view => :display
    end
  end

Good idea, but I'm a little bit worried about opening the door to a RJS hell here - we should be careful about adding JS helpers, but principally I like the idea.

I agree, it shouldn't be Apotomo's responsability to support every kind of js interaction. redirect_to is simply a very common interaction. That it is implemented in JS is simply to decouple it from rails.

+1, I just ran into needing this today.

I needed to do this and found this PR. Does exactly what I needed so another vote from me.

Yepp, the JS solution seems good to me. Test anyone?
