Problem printing from a popup

[bthale]

I have a popup window that has a print button

the link I use is <a href=&quot;javascriptrint()&quot;>Print</a>

but it doesn't work. I have also tried <a href=&quot;javascript:window.print()&quot;>Print</a>

Anybody have a suggestion?

Using IE 6

Is it only failing to work in a popup window? As far as I know what you have should work and I don't know why the window being a popup should matter. Is it just doing nothing when you click it?

Yes, it does nothing and only fails inside the popup. The page is built inside a jsp and the popup windo is called with a function.

function printChart()
{
var pwin = window.open(&quot;print.htm&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;height=460, width=460, toolbars=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes&quot;
var data = &quot;<%=html%>&quot;;
pwin.document.writeln(data);
//pwin.print();
//pwin.close();
}

There is also a print button and that is what fails. I would really like to comment out the two lines above and have it close automatically after the user prints, but it just closes the window.
