write div contents to another window? 1

[jlsmithhartfiel]

Hi!

I have one page that has a div which has information in it. What I'd like to do is open a new window & output the div's contents to the new window.

Is this possible?

Also, If I output information to a div that I have hidden, does this affect the rendering time to the browser? I have a lot of data that I need to display & am wondering if it's hidden if it will take a shorter time to display than if it was all visible.

Thanks in advance! Jessica

1. yes - you should be able to get the contents using innerText or innerHTML (i forget which is cross-browser)

2. probably not: the browser still has to download the source. the actual "rendering" time - the time the browser takes to turn the HTML into eye goodies - is most likely insignificant compared to the download time. just a guess though
