print()

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 26.2002

Hi,

I noticed the other posting regarding print() and tried the suggestion but it didnt’ work. Here is what I am doing:

I am trying to use the print function window.print() by opening a new window and then executing the window.print(). But, I am still having the parent window print, not the child window. Is there something else I need to do so that the child window has focus and the print function knows to print that window?

I tried putting the window name in the window.print(“name”), but that didn’t work either.

I appreciate your help!

<i>
</i>var newWin = window.open("LOCATION");
newWin.print();

Thanks for your response. I had actually figured it out. But, now I have another issue. I want to close the window that I am opening then printing. But, if I put the close right after the print it closes the print window too...any suggestions for this?

I appreciate your help! Thanks, Lisa

Success!
