Write Content To New Window with JQuery

Question

I have a web page with a DIV element in it. When a user clicks "print", I want to print the contents of that div. Please note, I only want to print the contents of the DIV, not the entire page. To attempt this, I decided I would open a new window using JavaScript. I was then going to write the contents of the DIV into the new window. My question is, is this possible with JQuery? If so, how? Currently, I'm trying the following:

function printClick() {
  var w = window.open();
  var html = $("#divToPrintID").html();

  // how do I write the html to the new window with JQuery?
}

Answer 1

You can use

$(w.document.body).html(html);
