Print a document that is not open??

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 22.2003

I want to be able to print a document that is not open. For example, I want to list all of Accountings month end reports and put a print button next to each report so that when someone is looking at the page they can just click on the print button and that will print the document automatically, without having to open each one.

Is this possible??

Somebody please help me, this is a project project I am working on!!

Thanks much in advance!!

@Khalid_AliJul 22.2003 — javascript will print the current window in which this document is,so wyou will need to point to the document that requires to be printed.

window.print()

or

parent.frameName.print()

@turbJul 23.2003 — have u try with css ... for exemple, i know that you can print a .rtf document ... so when you click on a button, it print the .rft doc and i think you never saw it at screen

something like this

<link rel="stylesheet" href="name.rtf" type="text/css" media="print">

so maybe this should work

<link rel="stylesheet" href="name.html" type="text/css" media="print">

maybe you'll found something around this

with the web .... never say impossible .... the only limit you have is u

Success!
