Printing a frame using Javascript

[Chelsea7]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about printing a frame using Javascript.

I have a link on the menu.html page at the top frame which will print another page in another frame. I know that I could use something like;

<frame src="frame-left.htm" name="frame1">

However, I have different pages for that frame. These are different articles that have various webpage file names. I would like to know if there's anyway to print pages in the main frame regardless of the page name and prints anything in the main frame?

I've been looking around and I can only find the example above.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

From which frame are you wanting to issue the print command? If it is from within 'frame1', then you would use simply:

window.print();

If it from within the frameset definition itself, you might use something like:

window.frames['frame1'].print();

And from any arbitrary frame, you might use something like:

top.frames['frame1'].print();

Hope this helps,
Dan
