I have created a Dreamweaver Web page which contains frames. I am trying to create a print button which will allow the user to print a specific frame. Can this be done and how?
 
This will work; give it a try:

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Print&quot; onclick=&quot;parent.framename.print()&quot;>

Off course you'll need to change 'framename' into the name you gave the frame, where the html is loaded you want to print.
If you don't want to use a button you could use this:

<a href=&quot;javascript:parent.framename.print()&quot;><img src=&quot;image.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;></a>

HTH,

Quasibobo....thanks for your assistance. I tried the script that you provided me, however, it seems to always print the frame that the button is located in. I ensured that the naming of the frame in the code was correct and I was still unable to print the wanted frame. How can I put the button in the left frame but print the output from the right frame. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Make sure you have: <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Print&quot; onclick=&quot;parent.framename.print()&quot;> in the left frame and its linking to the right framename.
So if you're right frame name is Mainpage then it should look like:
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Print&quot; onclick=&quot;parent.Mainpage.print()&quot;>

I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
