I'm using bignosebird form script (perl)for an order form. I've included a simple javascript print script in the
HTML section of the Thankyou page (which fills in the details of the order for the punter..I want them to be able to print it ...see below...Now here's the wierdness..
the page prints fine on a pc but not on a Mac...anyone got any clues??
Regards emmdee
>>>...............sample script......
sub thank_you
{
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<__W2__;
<BODY BGCOLOR=&quot;FFFFCC&quot;><CENTER>
<TABLE WIDTH=550 BORDER=1>
<TR >
<TD align =&quot;center&quot;>
<b>
<H1>THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER!</H1>

Hi there
I mean that when the link is clicked nothing happens..zero zilch...however I think the problem is the space between ' and javascript in the code...
<a href=' javascript:;' onClick='window.print();return false'>HERE</a>....
windows would wear it, but i believe javascript on the mac hates spaces...that's my theory..i havent got a mac, but if anyone has could you test things at I've ftp'd the corrected code.
