    That sorted it! Thanks very much woohoo.

    So impossible to find answers for summit like this on Google as question too generic.

    Escape the </script> tag, so something like this...


    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    
    <p>Click the button to open a new browser window.</p>
    
    <button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
    
    <script>
    function myFunction() {
    var text = "This is the body";
    var html = "<html><head><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='invoice.css'/><script type='text/javascript' src='invoice.js'><\/script></head><body>" + text + "</body></html>";
    
    
    var newWindow = window.open("","Test");
    newWindow.document.write(html);
    
    }
    </script>
    
    </body>
    </html>

    jscript problem

    Want company and other items in a single customer invoice, so trying to make an adjusted copy of our completed company invoice in a new window that does not save to our database. This jscript works fine:

    function copy()
    {
    var text = document.getElementById('copy').innerHTML;
    text = text.replace(/readonly/gi, '');
    text = text.replace(/hideit/gi, '');
    var html = "<html><head><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='invoice.css'></head><body>" + text + "</body></html>";
    var newWindow = window.open("","Test");
    newWindow .document.write(html);
    }

    I would like a bit of jscript in the new window to automatically update totals etc. when items are added but as soon as I put
    <script type='text/javascript' src='invoice.js'></script> in the above string it stops working. Is it due to </jscript> in the string?

    Any ideas? Ta.
Working...
