Window.print doesn't work in IE

Question

I have to print out a div which I\'m doing in the following way:

function PrintElem(elem)
    {
        Popup(elem.html());
    }

    function

You MUST do a mywindow.document.close() and you may NOT have a space in the window name

I assume you invoke PrintElem from onclick of something - if that something is a link, you need to return false in the onclick handler!

Here is how I would do it if I had to

function PrintElem(elem) { 
    Popup($(elem).html());
}

function Popup(data) 
{
    var mywindow = window.open('', 'to_print', 'height=600,width=800');
    var html = ''+
               ''+
               ''+
               data+
               '';
    mywindow.document.write(html);
    mywindow.document.close();
    return true;
}

but I am not sure whether or not the window.close() will interfere with the printing

And why not

$(function() {
  $('#print_it').click(function(){
    popup($('#itinerario').html());
  });
});
