Printing a WebPage...
- Thread starter PogoWolf
- Start date
You mean like... type in -- and when the user arrives at the webpage, you run some command that cranks up their printer and prints off all 100 pages of the site without them even saying "OK"???
No. ;-)

Nope.. meaing in a Business App that will allow uses to enter batches of data into a page.. and then print all that information out. =)

Yea, but I was trying to illustrate why there is no such function -- you can use the javascript
window.print() -- but it's going to popup a confirmation for the user to click "OK" on before any printing is done. Otherwise, the above scenario would be possible.
I wasn't implying that you would do that, but there's all sorts of things that it would be nice for a browser to do, but because of security concerns, they just can't do because ppl would abuse.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across 'Snippy', yeah.. I totally understand why there isn't a built in Function to allow for this.
Perhaps an easier way to get around this is a Web Object, or and ActiveX control?
I agree, that it 'could' be done in JavaScript.. but that would also require the screen to update for each item in a batch print.. and them needing to click 'ok' for the next.. and all of that = a major pain. =)
