Running Javascript in new window.open

Question

I\'m running this function to open a new window.

function htmlNewWindow(id) {
    var html = $(id).html();
    var newWindow = window.open(\'\');
    newWind

Scripts added with .innerHTML aren't executed. You need to create a script node and append it to the window's DOM.

$("#button").click(newWindow);

function newWindow(id) {
  var html = $(id).html();
  var win = window.open('');
  win.document.head.innerHTML = '';
  win.document.body.innerHTML = '' + html + '';
  var script = document.createElement('script');
  script.src = 'js/myScript.js';
  win.document.head.appendChild(script);
}

This doesn't run in Stack Snippet's sandbox, here's a working jsfiddle.
