window.print() not working in IE

Question

I am doing something like this in javascript to print a section of my page on click of a link

function printDiv() {
 var divToPrint = document.getElementById('printArea');
 var newWin = window.open();
 newWin.document.write(divToPrint.innerHTML);
 newWin.print();
 newWin.close();
}

It works great in Firefox but not in IE.

Could someone please help

Answer 1

Add these lines after newWin.document.write(divToPrint.innerHTML)

newWin.document.close();
newWin.focus();
newWin.print();
newWin.close();

Then print function will work in all browser...
