I am trying to open a new window from javascript but nothing is being inserted into the html:

var callScriptText = $('#callScriptText').html();

var url = '/Action/CallScript/?callScript=';



// Open the current call script in a new window

var openWindow = window.open(url, 'callScriptPopup', 'width = 500, height = 500');

$(openWindow).html(callScriptText);

Does anyone know why?

Here's an example to open a new window with content using jQuery

<script>

function nWin() {

  var w = window.open();

  var html = $(#toNewWindow).html();



    $(w.document.body).html(html);

}



$(function() {

    $(a#print).click(nWin);

});

</script>



<div id=toNewWindow>

    <p>Your content here</p>

</div>



<a href=javascript:; id=print>Open</a>

EDIT:
For those who say that this code doesn't work, here's a jsfiddle to try it http://jsfiddle.net/8dXvt/
