Client Create Dynamic Window/HTML

08-09-2011

Doing the following will open a new window and get a page:
window.open('/mypage.html'...

I would like to open a new window but fill it with dynamic content from the
client current window DOM. I can't seem to find an example of how to do
that. Does anyone know how or have a link to a reference?

Thank you,
MC

What sort of content? If you have an element in the original window that
you'd like your new window to have access to, then something like:

ptr = opener.document.getElementById("id-of-element");

gets you a pointer to it.

Ok, this will create a document with two childNodes
(0) document type
(1) html element

var doctype = document.implementation.createDocumentType('html',
'-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN',
'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd');
var doc = document.implementation.createDocument('', 'html', doctype);

How do I open a window using this or can I?

PS, window.open(doc) opens but it does not use doc

I don't care about the content...I need to use js to open a window with a
doctype tag. window.open does not do that.

This works but has no doctype tag:

var winProposal = window.open("", "Quote Proposal",
"status=1,width=600,height=800");
var nodeHTML = {};
var nodeHEAD = {};
var nodeBODY = {};
for (var i=0; i < winProposal.document.childNodes.length; i++) {
if (winProposal.document.childNodes[i].nodeType == 1) nodeHTML =
winProposal.document.childNodes[i];
}
for (var i=0; i < nodeHTML.childNodes.length; i++) {
if (nodeHTML.childNodes[i].nodeName == 'HEAD') nodeHEAD =
nodeHTML.childNodes[i];
if (nodeHTML.childNodes[i].nodeName == 'BODY') nodeBODY =
nodeHTML.childNodes[i];
}

nodeBODY.innerHTML = "some junk here";

Is there a better way? I would really like to create the html, populate a
document object, then open the window and display it.

That is a fallacy.

So, you need to copy the DOM to a different document.
That takes extra work, since DOM elements always belong to the document that
created them. I.e., you need to mirror the content in the other window.

For that you can use document.importNode.

You definitly need the other window to be loaded before you can start
doing anything. I would open it as:

window.open('javascript:"<body><script>document.bo dy.appendChild(document.importNode(opener.document .getElementById(\'id_of_element_to_copy\'), true))</script></body>"')

Ofcourse, that uses standard DOM features, so it won't work in IE.

Alternatively, you could just get the innerHTML containing the content
you want to move, and add it as innerHTML in the receiving page.

Why take content from the DOM of the opening page instead of just taking
some data that can be used to build a DOM on both pages. I.e., separate
your data model from your display technology, and only reuse the data.

I know how to manipulate and copy content, no problem. What I am trying to
do is load a document, then open it, instead of using the window.open, then
copying/filling the content. The content is coming from the DOM, and cloning
content. Its pretty neat, we are essentially creating a print report based
on screen content and DOM, without having to make a roundtrip to the server.
I take it from your comment that you think filling, then opening a document
is not possible?

Thanks MC
