jscript problem

[xoggoth]

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.

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

<!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>

That sorted it! Thanks very much woohoo.

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