Code to close a popup window and print data displayed in it.

[adhp55555]

Hi everyone,
From a main screen, when users click an anchor, a popup window named ExtraWin is invoked and displays some data. I want to create 2 commands: "Close Window" and "Print Doc" in that popup window so that when users click "Close Window", the window will close, and when users click "Print Doc" the data in popup window is printed.
Questions:
1) How do I continue to code to display these two commands in the popup window?
2) How do I code to close the popup window?
3) How do I code to print the data displayed in the popup window?

My PopupWindow function is as follows:

function PopUpWindow(ddnnum,FromCol,ToCol,FieldSize,FieldFormat,BookName)
{
ExtraWin = window.open("", "_blank", config='width=600,height=600,left=200,top=150');
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<H1> Field Information </H1>&quot;
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<b>&quot; + &quot;DDN Number : &quot; + &quot;</b>&quot; + ddnnum + &quot;<br></br>&quot;
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<b>&quot; + &quot;From Col : &quot; + &quot;</b>&quot; + FromCol + &quot;<br></br>&quot;
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<b>&quot; + &quot;To Col : &quot; + &quot;</b>&quot; + ToCol + &quot;<br></br>&quot;
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<b>&quot; + &quot;Field Size: &quot; + &quot;</b>&quot; + FieldSize + &quot;<br></br>&quot;
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<b>&quot; + &quot;Field Format: &quot; + &quot;</b>&quot; + FieldFormat + &quot;<br></br>&quot;
ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<b>&quot; + &quot;Book Name: &quot; + &quot;</b>&quot; + BookName + &quot;<br></br>&quot;
}

Thank you for your help.

ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<p><a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;window.close;&quot;>Close</a></p>&quot;

ExtraWin.document.write(&quot;<p><a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;window.print();&quot;>Print</a><p/>&quot;

Thank you Tracey,
&quot;Close&quot; worked for me, but I still have problem with &quot;Print&quot;. I did code the &quot;close&quot; as follows:
ExtraWin.document.write('<a href=&quot;javascript:window.close()&quot;>Close</a>');
and it worked. My problem was that I used &quot;Window.close()&quot; instead of &quot;window.close()&quot;. The letter &quot;W&quot; was in capital instead of lower case.

I coded the &quot;print&quot; as follows:
ExtraWin.document.write('<a href=&quot;javascript:window.print()&quot;>Print</a>');
and even added &quot;return false&quot; as follows:
ExtraWin.document.write('<a href=&quot;javascript:window.print();return false&quot;>Print</a>');

it still didn't work. When I clicked it, nothing happened. My browser is IE6, and the popup window is called from XSLT. Do you get any idea ? why doesn't &quot;Print&quot; work? Thanks

ah yes, dont you hate case sensitivity?
Unfortunately Im a delphi programmer and not javascript, which is why i hang around here.
I copied <a href=&quot;javascript:window.print();&quot;>Print</a>
into my test page and it worked fine so Im at the end of my advice (it even worked without the using IE6.

Providing the source HTML of your popup has that code (then you can rule out xslt or asp), it should envoke your print dialog.

just a thought.. you dont have a pupup blocker enabled?
