Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 30.2002

hi all,
I tried to use the below function to print my webform written in asp.net when I click the “print” button. But a statment “error on page appears” in the status bar in IE. Does anyone know what is the problem?(Note: it goes fine when I use window.print()?
<script LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
function printWindow() {
document.print();
}
</script>

I have tried but when I click the button. The page is not printed out. The page just "hanged" instead. Thx.

@Zach_ElfersDec 30.2002 — OOPS!!! I wasn't even thinking right. It's 3:30 a.m. where I am and I told you document.write();. I am so stupid. documen.write() is used to put text on a page.

It is still not ok. I dont know why. I wanna ask if u have used document.print() before? Does it works?

Actually, why I use it becoz I wanna print the form without showing the scroll. Do u have any other suggestion to do that?

Thx.

@CharlesDec 30.2002 — [font=georgia]It's [font=monospace]window.print[/font] and not [font=monospace]document.print[/font] and it only works in MIcrosoft and then only when the user has not disabled scripting. To avoid a link to nowhere use JavaScript to draw the link only when it will work:[/font]

[font=monospace]

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

if (window.print) {

document.write('<a href="#">Print this page.</a>');

document.links[document.links.length-1].onclick = function () {window.print(); return false};

};

// -->

</script>

[/font]

Success!
