I've opened a new window with window.open() and I want to use the reference from the window.open() call to then write content to the new window. I've tried copying HTML from the old window to the new window by using myWindow.document.body.innerHTML = oldWindowDiv.innerHTML; but that's doesn't work. Any ideas?

Can I pass a JavaScript variable to another browser window? Passing variables between the windows (if your windows are on the same domain) can be easily done via: Cookies. localStorage.
In JavaScript, window. The window. open() method is used to open a new browser window or a new tab depending on the browser setting and the parameter values.
The write() method writes directly to an open (HTML) document stream.
The document. write() method writes a string of text to a document stream opened by document.
The reference returned by window.open() is to the child window's window object. So you can do anything you would normally do, here's an example:
var myWindow = window.open('...')
myWindow.document.getElementById('foo').style.backgroundColor = 'red'
Bear in mind that this will only work if the parent and child windows have the same domain. Otherwise cross-site scripting security restrictions will stop you.

I think this will do the trick.
function popUp(){
var newWindow = window.open("","Test","width=300,height=300,scrollbars=1,resizable=1")
//read text from textbox placed in parent window
var text = document.form.input.value
var html = "<html><head></head><body>Hello, <b>"+ text +"</b>."
html += "How are you today?</body></html>"
newWindow .document.open()
newWindow .document.write(html)
newWindow .document.close()
}
