in menu i want to have a print button, but the button has to print the content frame.

i know the print command is window.print() but how do i get it to print the content frame? content.print() doesnt seem to be working.... neither does top.print() which worked for top.close()

thanks,

Maybe try (?):

parent.content.print() Hope this helps.

Looking a bit futher, I found this article, which offers a solution to your problem:

Apparently "parent.content.print()" would work in NN, but not in IE. IE will print only the frame which has focus (which your "content" frame will not have if the print button is located in the "menu" frame)

Short answer:
parent.content.focus()
parent.content.print() Hope this helps.
