I have opened a new window with JavaScript:
var newwin = window.open('','preview','width=600,height=500');
Now I want to write some JavaScript to the window:
newwin.document.write("<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Hi!');<" + "/script>");
newwin.document.close();
However, the script never gets executed. Am I doing something wrong?
Update: Okay, now I got part of it working. Here is the current code I have:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function SetContent()
{
$('#content').html('New Text');
}
function dowin()
{
var newwin = window.open('','preview','width=600,height=500');
newwin.document.write('<div id="content"></div><b>This should be replaced...</b>');
newwin.document.close();
var script = newwin.document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = 'jquery.js';
newwin.document.body.appendChild(script);
var script2 = newwin.document.createElement("script");
script2.type = "text/javascript";
script2.textContent = "(" + SetContent + ")();";
newwin.document.body.appendChild(script2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick='dowin();'>Open</button>
</body>
</html>
It's supposed to change the content of the div but as you can see, it doesn't.
