Sending array to popup window with javascript

Question

I have the following code:

var my_window=window.open("print.php");
my_window.testValue="some value";

In print.php page I have this code:

alert(window.testValue);

This works in chrome and mozilla but does not work on IE, what might be the problem?

try use below instead of your code because You can't "pass" the array, but you can make it available as a global (or via a global), and your new page can use something like: var theArray = window.opener.theArray; — Anto king

As you mentioned in comment using javascript array declare your value as global,

window.data = data;

as you asked make your variable global please look at Make Variable as Global JavaScript

And the use below code

var theArray = window.opener.theArray

Hope this helps...
