I am trying to move a DOM node from the “root” page to a new pop-up that is created via window.open(). Here is the code I am using. 

var win = window.open('/Search/Print', 'printSearchResults'),
    table = $('#printTable');
win.document.close();
setTimeout(function () {
    var el = win.document.createElement("table");
    el.innerHTML = table.html();
    win.document.body.appendChild(el);
}, 40);

It works in Chrome, but in IE8, I receive the following error: “Unknown runtime error.”

I’ve also tried it this way:

var p = window.open('/Search/Print', 'printSearchResults'),
    table = $('#printTable');
setTimeout(function () {
    p.document.body.appendChild(table.clone(false)[0]);
}, 100);

Doing it this way, I receive “No such interface supported” in IE8. Again, Chrome works fine.

Does anyone have a way to do what I’m trying to achieve?

Here is the HTML for the pop-up window just for the sake of completeness:

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
      <title>Print Results</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

    I tested your code on IE9 ( and IE8/7 browser mode).

    Instead of el.innerHTML = table.html();

    using jquery $(el).html(table.html()); fixed the issue.
