I have a code highlight block for which I would like to have an option where you click on a button and it opens up a new HTML page where it displays the “raw” content of the highlight. I have the code ready in raw form and the link prepared with target=”_blank”, but I can’t seem to get it to open up a new page.

This is what my HTML looks like:

<a href="#" target="_blank">Click to view HTML</a>

And this is my javascript

//when clicked
link.href = 'javascript:document.write("...");';
//the click event should continue as normal

This should open up a new page with “…” as the content, but it doesn’t work (it just opens up the existing page).

Is there anyway to do this without using popups?

    function writeToWindow(content) {
    var newWin = window.open('','newWin','width=300,height=200');
    newWin.document.open();
    newWin.document.writeln("<html><head><title>Console</title></head><body>" + content + "</body></html>");
    newWin.document.close();
}

    call it

    onclick="writeToWindow('text to display');"
