Print page button

[chrismassey]

Hello,

I have a section of javascript here:
<A HREF="javascript:contentframe.print()">Print Page</A>

Now this simply opens up the print dialog box, and will print the contents of the I-Frame "contentframe".

I am now no longer using frames across my website and instead using perl and php to display the contents of the contentframe inside a table cell instead.

This means that my javascript print button can no longer work because there is no frame. I cannot use "window" because this will print the entire page including the left links and the header banner.

My first solution was to display an iframe with a height and width of 0, although a tiny piece of the iframe is still visible in firefox.

Is there a way to adapt the javascript print code so that instead of choosing which frame it prints, to choose a URL it prints. E.g.

<A HREF="javascript:

http://www.google.com/index.htm.print()">Print

Page</A>

Thanks

Chris

Why not simply define a print style sheet which hides everything you don't want printed? It's a whole lot easier.

Ask in forum215 for more help on this if you need it.

Hope this helps,

Hey,

Thanks for the response Billy. That would be the perfect solution, however I am currently having problems with containing CSS .htm files within an online HTML Editor. Therefore all the pages are just standard HTML.

Here is a standard HTML Example:

http://www.chrismassey.co.uk/Perl/S...V1.0/z/Drive///index.htm&admin_login=password

Here is a CSS HTML Example:

http://www.chrismassey.co.uk/Perl/S...e//01=Contents/Test1.htm&admin_login=password

Note that the CSS isn't contained within the Editor like the standard HTML is.

Its alright though, its not a biggy

Thanks,

Chris
