Print link in a popup window? 1

[JennyW]

Hi.

Is there a way I can put a print link on a popup window?
Like, can that print link activate the printer and print the info inside the popup?

If possible, I am looking for something that works in both IE and Netscrap.


Thanks.
Jenny

hi Jenny,

This will work in IE5+ (not IE4 and not NN4+) I don't know about NN6, but I think it does.

The alertbox in the "else" will tell the users with older browsers how to print manually.

----put this code in the popup file------------

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function PrintPage() {
if (window.print)
{
window.print();
}
else
{
alert('Your browser does not support automatic printing.\nPlease select &quot;Print&quot; from the file menu\n\nor press Ctrl + P');
}
}
</script>

<a href=&quot;javascriptrintPage()&quot;>print this page</a>

-------------end code------------

Hope this helps,
Erik

Hia Boomer!

Thanks for the help. It worked great!
I successfully tested it in IE 5.0 and NS 4.7.

Thanks again
Jenny
