Printer friendly version in new window

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 25.2005

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum. I hope somebody can help…
I am using style switcher to provide alternative accessible styles for my website one of which is a printer friendly version. I want to be able to have this printer friendly version pop up in a new window. I have tried using the following script:

<a href=”#” onClick=”myRef = window.open(”+self.location,’mywin’,
‘left=20,top=20,width=800,height=800,toolbar=1,resizable=1’);
myRef.focus(); setActiveStyleSheet(‘print’);return false; “>New Window </a>

…This indeed pops up the print version in a new window but it also changes the style of the main window. How can I have it so the print version is in the popup only and the main window keeps its default styling?

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Simon,

It seems like you are changing the active stylesheet when you click... you need to change the stylesheet of the new window you've opened. You are changing it int he main window (if my assumption about your setstylesheet function is right)

Yes, that is what is haoppening. The idea is to cange the active stylesheet for the popup window only. How do I achive this but leave the main window unchanged?
