childWin = openPrint.document;

var newDiv = childWin.createElement("<div id='para'>")
newDiv.innerHTML = document.forms[0].txtBranch.value;

}

Answer 1

try

function fnOpenPrint(){
    var openPrint = window.open('print.htm');
    openPrint.onload = function() {
        var doc = openPrint.document;

        var newDiv = doc.createElement("div");
        newDiv.id = 'para';
        newDiv.innerHTML = document.forms[0].txtBranch.value;
        doc.body.appendChild(newDiv);
    };
}

DOM manipulations in the child window must be done after it finishes loading.
