I have created a window using wondow.open();<br>
<br>
The new window won't print, instead the last closed document goes to the printer.<br>
<br>
Do I need to add a document.close statement somewhere or what?<br>
<br>
Thanks

Are you trying to cause this new window to print using JavaScript? If so, then I don't know what to tell you, but if you're trying to print the window in Netscape, make SURE you've clicked the mouse in the new window before trying to print it. That may be a simple answer to your problem.<br>

hi earlie,

you can put code on body tag
onLoad=&quot;window.print()&quot;;
after writing on the document of that window
close document using
thatwindow.document.close();
now you will get printout of the window you intended

bye have a nice printing

askjdhakjdh,

Two things.

1. In order to print reliably using the .print method you must use document.open() and document.close() before and after the .writes...

Code: 
var prev = window.open('','Preview');
prev.document.open();
prev.document.write(&quot;blah,blah,blah&quot;)
prev.document.close();

2. Close your hiding tag <!-- with --> (has nothing to do with printing but is simply proper form.

Hope this helps, [sig]<p>Rob<br><a href=mailto:robschultz@yahoo.com>robschultz@yahoo.com</a><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
