Printing frames HELP PLS!

[einyel]

Hi all,

I'm dealing with a software that has its own Web Portal.
My problem is that one of the framesets contains 3 dinamyc horizontals frames (A. 55%, B. 40%, C. 5%).
A. Report main information
B. Chart
C. Toolbar

Due to frames when I try to print A frame it only appears what is shown on the screen.
I've tried to insert some HTML and JS code like window.print(....) but I didint' suceed.

I was thinking on a script that could do that:
1. get the web address generated (as I have thousand of reports published on this Web Portal)

http://host/virtual_directory/cgi-bin/ppdscgi.exe?BZ=1aaaasdfhdf865asd8g7690gdf9887hud8h

(this address changes on every click as info is different)
2. Open it on another window in HTML format (without frames)
3. After that I believe that browser(IE6) file-->print should print the entire report

Feel free for new suggestions if U think that I'm paranoid with this idea.... : )
Please I need also the code as I don't know that much on HTML & JS programming.

thanx in advance

How does it work then?
I insert the code and then from browser menu file-->print, is that enough or do I have to create a JS file and an anchor to it?

Oh wait. Do you personally want to print the whole page, or do you want to make sure that when the page is printed by any client, the whole thing prints?

Cheers,
