Jquery post, response in new window

I have a script that on.DocumentReady posts data to another page. That page responds with some HTML encapsulated in one div tag.

My goal is to have this post response/data open in a new window.

Any hints or clues?

Here is the snippet I created from Dr. Mille's advice.

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var packslip_id = 35592;
var po_no = 0018439;
var  box_no = 1;
    $.post("https://example.com/barcode/generate", { packing_slip: packslip_id, reference: po_no, total_boxes: box_no}, 
    function (data) {
        alert(data);
        var win=window.open('about:blank');
        with(win.document)
        {
            open();
            write(data);
            close();
        }
    });
 });


Solution 1:

Use the write()-Method of the Popup's document to put your markup there:

$.post(url, function (data) {
    var w = window.open('about:blank');
    w.document.open();
    w.document.write(data);
    w.document.close();
});

Solution 2:

Accepted answer doesn't work with "use strict" as the "with" statement throws an error. So instead:

$.post(url, function (data) {
    var w = window.open('about:blank', 'windowname');
    w.document.write(data);
    w.document.close();
});

Also, make sure 'windowname' doesn't have any spaces in it because that will fail in IE :)
