When trying to present data on second window on IE - null is shown

[li-raz]

In my app I am working with several windows in which the main window opens. every window is it own angular, however my data is in the main window, when I try to present the data (mainly Date objects) on the second window , in IE i get null however in chrome it works ok. When i take this object and directly add it to the html - al ls ok, also in IE

Hi, did you try that with vanilla javascript? Maybe it's a special restriction by IE.

Yes
I have updated the plunker
document.getElementById("there").innerHTML = testt.tt.aa;

still same results

It works when you use .toString() in the scope assignment. Hmm.

I didn’t really wanted to go to this solution ……

Sorry if that's an inconvenience to you, but it looks like a pretty easy, low-cost fix to me. You'll understand that such issues have very low priority.

Investigating this a little further, I came to the following conclusion:

The unexpected behaviour boils down to a call to toJson(xyz) (where xyz is the Date object referenced by testt.tt.aa).
This in turn calls, JSON.stringify(xyz, toJsonReplacer, null);.

"Weird"(?) facts in IE:

• Calling JSON.stringify with a Date object that is created by another window (here: window.opener) with no replacer, works as expected:
  JSON.stringify(new window.opener.Date()) => <date string>

• Calling JSON.stringify with a Date object that is created by another window (here: window.opener) with a replacer function defined on this window, returns null:
  JSON.stringify(new window.opener.Date(), function(k,v){return v;}) => null

• Calling JSON.stringify with a Date object that is created by another window (here: window.opener) with a replacer function defined on that other window, works as expected:

  // In opener window:
  window.toJsonReplacer = function(k, v) { return v; };
  // In opened window:
  JSON.stringify(new window.opener.Date(), window.opener.toJsonReplacer)
  // => <date string>
  

Not sure if we could/want to somehow account for that.

UPDATE:

This doesn't seem specific to Date objects, but any object actually.
