hi all,
i wanted know how i can print a page on my website from a image button existing on another page on the same website, what do i do ?, would i have to manipulate either of these codes:
<a href=&quot;javascript:window.print()&quot;><img src=&quot;print.gif&quot;></a>

or

<a href=&quot;form.htm&quot; onClick=&quot;window.print();return false&quot;><img src=&quot;print.gif&quot;></a>

or am i totally going the wrong way about this, any help would be useful.

thanks have merry christmass

As far as I know, you can only print a page that is currently loaded - i.e. you cannot print an abitrary page on your website from any other page.

If both pages are loaded in a frameset, for example, then it isn't a problem to call the window.print() method of the frame you want printed...

Basically, the document you need to print must be loaded at the time you want to print it.

Hope this helps!

geniedon,

I have seen this done using style media, but I can't find
the thread with the syntax.

Maybe someone else can help out with the exact syntax.

OK found it,

<link rel=alternate media=print href=&quot;Print.htm&quot;>

Take a look at this whole thread to get a better picture:

hi Lrnmore,
how can i enclose this
<link rel=alternate media=print href=&quot;Print.htm&quot;>
on a button, so the user can press this button to print &quot;Print.htm&quot; page, and by the way what is style media ?, is it related to style sheets.


peace

You can forget the &quot;style&quot; that was just what I thought was
used to accomplish the task but this method doesn't involve
style, the &quot;media&quot; really does the work.

Here's an example of a button that from the loaded page
will print &quot;test2.html&quot;..

Thanks for the vote! You let us know if you have any more
questions..

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN&quot;>
<html><head><title>TEST</title>
<link rel=alternate media=print href=&quot;test2.html&quot;>
</head><body>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Print&quot; onClick=&quot;window.print()&quot;>
</body></html>

Great Javascript Resource:
