Hi friends,
We have a big width report in frame structure.
After clicked print butun in borrower or javascript print function, users can not print out whole report.
the report shout be cut off for over paper size.
I wish that print function can print rest information in next page other than cut off? it only print 12 columns. there are 40 columns in report)
Thanks
FairfaxVB

my codes*******************
<html><HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function varitext(text){
text=document
print(text)
}
// End -->
</script>

</HEAD>
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
<FORM name="document">
<INPUT NAME="print" TYPE="button" VALUE="Print!"
ONCLICK="varitext()">

here is a big html table with 6200 width (40 culumns)
</FORM></body></html>

you cannot do anything with javascript to avoid this print issue. the best you can do is use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style your page appropriately so it fits on your standard page size.

cLFlaVA, Thanks for your email.
in frame structure., can we use a print button in one frame to print other frame information? So that we avoid to print 'print button ' in report paper.
thanks

Hi clFlaVA and friends,
I created a code to print frame drt information.
there are a dynamic frames(2 level).
I got an error message as "top.frames[0].frames[1].document is null or not object"

how to fix this issue?
Thanks
FairfaxVB
<script>

function framePrint(){
alert("gg");
top.frames[0].frames[1].document.drt.focus();
top.frames[0].frames[1].document.drt.print();
alert("check");
}
</script>

Try re-reading cLFlaVA's example (your code is not implementing what he suggested).
