Hi

Batch print ? You mean without user interaction ? If that would be possible, then idiots would not pop up windows for advertisement but would simply print them.

I am afraid you have to use ActiveX for that.

what i meant with batch printing is that the client can print many pictures with just one click of a button... like print 3 or 4 images, 1 image per page, in just one click...

how is this possible? thanks. any suggestions?

You're quickly moving outside the realm of Javascript's capabilities. You need to figure out another method to use that can size the pictures to your standards on the fly and center pictures horizontally and vertically. PHP server-side scripting can be used to resize photos shown in the browser, but I don't know if printing from a web page is a practical format to use for what you want.

Also, look into print styles using CSS. You can do all kinds of fun stuff with that, including resizing and realignment of pictures. But as Lee said above, that is outside the realm of Javascript's capabilities and would be a question better suited for the HTML/CSS forum which you can find here:
