Default Cracked window -- repair options?

What is the fastest and cheapest way to temporarily repair a cracked
window pane? One of our living room window panes is cracked. This is a
non-opening window. I'm wondering if those blow-dryer heat sealant
plastic kits will work? Does the heat make the plastic stick to the
glass pane? (There is no way to wrap the plastic around the molding
since this is a non-opening window.

Thanks.

Replace it period.....You cannot fix a crack in a window pane. Want a
temp fix, tape.

Duct tape to keep it together while you wait for the repairman. You
don't fix them you replace them.
