javascript button to print web page 1

[jund]

Does anyone have a javascript program that creates a button (on the page)that allows the user to print the web page the user is visiting? For example, I have a club site that has a membership form on it that the member must print via their printer. But, most of them do not know how to set the printer up correctly... i.e., "shrink to fit" when printing.

and for older browser or not-compatible ones, you can even try :
<input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;if (window.print()) window.print() else alert(\&quot;listen i'm really sorry but it seems you'll have to do it yourself. File -> Print ... \n thank you \&quot&quot; value=&quot;Print&quot;>

maybe make it:

if (window.print)

Otherwise if you leave the ()'s there, it will try to call window.print and receive a return value, and test against that. jared@aauser.com -
