HTML to Print Frame

[THoey]

I have a friend that has created a web page. Sorry, I am not sure what tool he used to create this page. He is wanting to place an HTML tag on one frame of the page that when clicked will print out just that frame without prompts.

Is this possible?

Short answer: no.

HTML does not allow the author to control the user's environment. Your user could be using IE/Netscape, or a more obscure browser such as Opera, Mozilla, Amaya, Lynx (the list is endless...)

The other issue is for people with multiple printers installed: which printer would it print to?

The javascript 'print' function will popup a print dialogue box (although this doesn't work in all o/s or browsers, it's supported by the majority of people using IE / Windows).
