"javascript: window.print()" - object expected

[bgroves]

Newbie to javascript. Inheriting a app to maintain. I am having a problem with a menu item that allows the user to print the web page. Here is the code:
<MITEM URL="javascript: window.print()">Print Page</MITEM>

The error is:
A Runtime error has occurred.
Line: 0
Error: Object expected

May I get some suggestions?
Thx,
B

Yes - give us the real client-side code. What you've posted is not real HTML, so cannot be the real client-side code.

Hope this helps,

It is in a drop down menu system where clicking on the item launches a windows print. I assume the real code would be
<a href="javascript:window.print();">Print</a>
if it were not a menu item. I apologize if I am missing the point.
Thx,

If that is the real code (and for some reason, you seem unsure that it is), then the error lies somewhere else, as that is fine.

Why you can't just give us the real code, I don't know. Perhaps give us a URL to the page so we can try and debug it further?
