Pass div content as parameter

[Pichdude]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to pass the content of div as a request parameter to another page?

If I do this...

var printDivContent = document.getElementById("testDiv").innerHTML;

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('print.jsp?param=printDivContent', 'Help', 'location=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=460,scrollbars');">Print</a>");

...and print out the content of request parameter "param" this is the result on print.jsp:

printDivContent


My intention was of course not to pass printDivContent as a String but instead the variable printDivContent?

Is that possible?

Best regards

Hi

var printDivContent = [red]escape([/red]document.getElementById("testDiv").innerHTML[red])[/red];

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('print.jsp?param=[red]'+[/red]printDivContent, 'Help', 'location=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=460,scrollbars');">Print</a>");

Yes, that should be valid, but your syntax is wrong. Since printDivContent is a javascript variable, you need to exit the window.open string to insert the variable in.

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('print.jsp?param=[!]" + printDivContent + "'[/!], 'Help', 'location=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=460,scrollbars');">Print</a>");

Worked like a charm!

Thanks a lot.

You're right feherke.

Is it possible to retrieve a div from the original page (with the print-link) on print.jsp?

I.e. not passing the div-content on a request parameter, instead getting it by using something like getElementById that looks in the original page.

You can reference the "original page" with window.opener.


So if the div has an id of "cheese" in the original page, you can say

window.opener.document.getElementById("cheese")

This is assuming that the original page is still loaded in a browser and not closed.
