window.opener.document.getElementById(..) does not work in IE

Question

Im trying to open new window from parent window when user choose to print the parent window ,i re-draw the parent page in the new page by using :

document.getElementById('demo_tab_info').innerHTML=window.opener.document.getElementById('demo_tab_info').innerHTML;

and then i control the element by javascript(hide some and show some of them). That work fine with Firefox and Chrome ,but it is not with IE,does there an explanation for this? also

window.print();

Does not work with Chrome? Can any one help with these two problems?

Answer 1

As for second question.

Function:

window.print()

is supported in all major browser (source: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_print.asp)

But it is true that it is not standardized function by W3C (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM:window.print).
