Hello All,

Problem:

I'm having problems addressing a new declared window innerHTML object. I have no problems addressing window.document.documentElement.innerHTML.

Solution:

To be able to address pp.document.documentElement.innerHTML...
What am I doing wrong?

--Thanks


--- Doesn't work (Note: see variable str) ---

function getPrintPage() {
            var pp = window.open("",null);
            var str = ""
            pp.location = "page.aspx?<%= request.querystring %>&amp;act=print";
            pp.document.open();
            str = pp.document.documentElement.innerHTML;
            pp.document.write('<P>' +str+ '</P>');
            pp.document.close();
            pp.print();
            pp.close();
        }




--- Works but not the desired result (Note: see variable str) ---

function getPrintPage() {
            var pp = window.open("",null);
            var str = ""
            pp.location = "page.aspx?<%= request.querystring %>&amp;act=print";
            pp.document.open();
            str = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
            pp.document.write('<P>' +str+ '</P>');
            pp.document.close();
            pp.print();
            pp.close();
        }

You don't need to open the document to read the innerHTML. Two things to watch out for, firstly if the page in the child window is in a different domain you will not be able to read the html, secondly it maybe that the page hasn't finished loading when you try to read it. Try a loop:
