Here's exactly the code I wrote : var pop = window.open("PrintList.aspx");
if ($.browser.msie) { $(pop.document).ready(function() { $("#list", pop.document).html('hello'); }); } else { $(pop).load(function() { $("#list", pop.document).html('hello'); }); } As you can see I have to use a different event for IE 7.0 and other broswers (that being FF 3.0 as I don't have any other browsers installed on my PC) In FF, it is working as expected. However in IE, the first time that code is called, the popup is opened but the ready event is not fired. If I close the popup, and trigger that code again, the ready is then fired ! And it works for all the following attempts, until I close my main window and I try again : same behaviour, ready not fired the first time the popup is opened but then works after that. This is really strange, if someone has an answer to this issue, please shed some light on this !
