Printing a pop-up window

SPYDERIX · Mar 18, 2002

I currently have the following code which doesn't report any errors nor does it print succesfully.

<script language="JavaScript">

var myText=12345;
var myWindow = window.open('','windowName','width=400,height=400');
myWindow.document.write(myText);

</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Print contents of popup" onclick="(window.print){windowName.print();}">
</form>

</body>
</html>

Can anyone find my error?

this will work for sure, I tried it first to make sure it did.

<FORM>
<input type=button name=print value="Print" onClick="javascript:window.print()">
</FORM>

toetag,
You didn't open the document correctly, may be this is the problem. Here's how you should do it:

var myWindow = window.open('',' ....
myWindow.document.open();
myWindow.document.write(' ....
myWindow.document.close();

Check this and tell what happens.
