Question

I’m trying to pass a DIV to a new window.

JavaScript

function openWin() {
    myWindow=window.open('','','width=200,height=100');
}

HTML

<div id="pass">pass this to the new window</div>
<a href="#" onclick="openWin();">click</a>

Can someone help me out?

I think you want this:

var divText = document.getElementById("pass").outerHTML;
var myWindow = window.open('','','width=200,height=100');
var doc = myWindow.document;
doc.open();
doc.write(divText);
doc.close();
