Print buttons. Making them print.

[UncleMortis]

I've made a couple of forms for a website I'm working on. I don't have access to cgi script however and the way I saw around this was to just have the person print it out and fill it in. On relection, I realised it'd just be easy to have the person fill it out online and then press a print button. I can make the buttons, I just need the info the button needs so it knows to start the print process. Any help would be great .

for html it's

<a href=&quot;javascriptrint(document)&quot;><img scr=&quot;yourbutton&quot;></a>

UncleMortis,

If it's not something that has to be secure and you want it e-mailed or otherwise manipulated, this might help: faq215-3358

Yes that was helpful. I don't need anything that's secure but at the same time, I just want a print button. I'm unable to have a secure site and because there will be credit card numbers, I thought the best way around that is just to make the form printable and then they send it to a snail mail address. I'm able to make a send and reset button in a form. I've noticed so far though that I'm needing to make the print button in javascript. Is there any easier way to go, IE: making it the same way and using the same type of command that the send and reset button have that come with making a form? Thanks for the info so far.

Well, babel's answer is pretty much the easiest way to go.

Cheers,

I found out how to do it, thanks for the info guys. I've put it in here in case anyone else is after something similar.

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Print this page&quot; onClick=&quot;window.print()&quot;>
