Question

Need to make a function that would open a popout with a div inheriting innerhtml from another div on that page.

For example, the initial div might have some sort of a table, therefor when the user presses the print button, this div would open in a new popout. 🙂

EDIT:

Thanks, got it working!

function opentrint(  ) { 

var $toprint = $('#divToPrint').html();
myWin=window.open('','myWin','menubar,scrollbars,left=30px,top=40px,height=400px,width=600px');
myWin.document.write($toprint); 

}

Answer 1

use var printwindow = window.open('file', 'uniqueid', 'width=400, height=300');

to open a new window. That script that you’re calling in file should be able to access
the opener window by var div = window.opener.getElementById('divid');

It should be possible to wrap window.opener in a jQuery object. You might even need to
use $(window.opener).contents().find('#divid');.
