javascript: onClick=’print();’

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I use a onClick=’print();’ inside a link. It does not work. I use it in a popup window that does not have any foreward, back… buttons. Im wondering if that is the problem. Here is the code, sorry its a mess, but it is generated so the formatting is none ?

[code]
<h1>Graded Results</h1><h3>For: sdfdfs Date: sdfsdf</h3><a href=’#’ onClick=’print();’>Print This</a><br>0/4 <b>0%</b><br><br><b>1. Wrong. What is your name:<br></b><b>Jeff</b><br>You put:<br>sdffsd<br><br><b>2. Wrong. What gender:<br></b><b>Male</b><br>You put:<br>sdfdfs<br><br><b>3. Wrong. What do you ride:<br></b><b>I have a car</b><br>You put:<br>sdfdfs<br><br><b>4. Wrong. What is favorite color:<br></b><b>black</b><br>You put:<br>sdfsdf<br><br>[/code]

And use document.writeln instead.

@rex64authorJun 07.2004 — I want to print the HTML document just the way it looks. I do not want to print the code or anything. I just want to send the HTML document that they are viewing on the screen straight to the printer.

@David_HarrisonJun 07.2004 — So window.print() then.

And as a separate point, use document.writeln to create your pop-up code.

@rex64authorJun 07.2004 — window.print() does not work in a popup window. I already tried it.

@David_HarrisonJun 07.2004 — Can you post you pop-up generating code please.

@rex64authorJun 07.2004 — It is very lengthy. But here are some pieces:

[code=php]
function newWindow()
{
//var popurl="weatherPop1.html"
winpops=window.open("_blank","","width=650,height=490,")
}

function writeToWin(theString)
{
getObject(winpops).document.write(theString);
}

writeToWin("<a href='#' onClick='print();'>Print This</a><br>");
[/code]

@David_HarrisonJun 07.2004 — I've simplified the code, although why do I get the feeling that you call your writing function over and over again.var winpops;

function combined(theString){

//var popurl="weatherPop1.html"

winpops=window.open("","newwin","width=650,height=490");

winpops.document.writeln('&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"');
winpops.document.writeln(' "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;html lang="en"&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;head&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;title&gt;'+alternateText+'&lt;/title&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;meta http-equiv="content-script-type" content="text/javascript"&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css"&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;/head&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;body&gt;');

winpops.document.writeln(theString);

winpops.document.writeln('&lt;/body&gt;');
winpops.document.writeln('&lt;/html&gt;');
winpops.document.close();

}

combined("&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='#' onclick='print();'&gt;Print This&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;");The print button wasn't working because you didn't close the document once you'd finished writing to it. A common mistake that many people make.

Read the code in this thread for how to get it to work. It does work in ANY web page provided you code it right.

Success!
