How can I make JavaScript make (produce) new page?

Question

I would like to make a button on a page that can call a JS function in the same page. The function will need to create (open) new window which its HTML code was given from the JS function itself. How can I do that?

The purpose of this is to produce a print friendly page out of a specific page.

Please notice: No AJAX can be used.

var opened = window.open("");
opened.document.write("<html><head><title>MyTitle</title></head><body>test</body></html>");

it opens new window however it doesn't write anything in it!! – M. A. Kishawy Jan 05 '10 at 07:34
It works for me in Firefox. Which browser are you trying this in, and do you get any errors? – Emil Vikström Jan 05 '10 at 07:54
No errors! but it looks like it won't show the text you write unless you use the HTML properties as Fabien wrote. Thanks – M. A. Kishawy Jan 05 '10 at 08:02
