Window Close

Hi Guys,

I am trying to open another window in a browser, get it to print and then close, leaving the original window open.

I can open the window, and then print - Using
<body onLoad="window.print()">

But I can't seem to get the window to close after the print dialog box.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Thanks

from you main page open the window using script

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script language=javascript>
function openPrint()
{
var printwin = window.open('print.htm');
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="openPrint();return false">pop</a>
</body>
</html>

and then in the body tag of print.htm, or your print file:

<body onLoad="window.print(); window.close()">
this gets printed
</body>
