How Do I Print A Page In IE5 For Mac? Window.print() Doesn't Work
Jan 3, 2002
Hey all. I am currently putting together a test page of mine where a popup window comes up showing a coupon that I will have a link enabling them to print it simply and easily.
For my current code I have a simple <a href="javascript:window.print()"> that works great on both Internet Explorer 5 and Netscape 4/6 on the PC but for some reason, Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh doesn't do a thing.
I'm having a long page where there will be content to be printed.
I'm using the css using media=print to hide all the unwanted contents and using the window.print method to invoke printing.
But when i click the print button it prints only partial content upto a single page and all the remaining contents are discarded.
I wonder what may be the problem!!!
And there's another problem , i've bills to be printed in order but dont want them to be breaking in between pages .(ie a bill should be printed fully if there is enough space at the bottom or should be printed on the next page)
So I have a print page that's written in a combination of php & html. The body tag is outside the php with an onload="window.print();window.close;"
The idea behind this print page is when the print button is pressed on the parent window, it generates this child window that is specifically made larger for printing reports that people can read easily. I use css for text styles and the table "width" is longer.
All the html code inbetween the body tags is created by php using the php "Print" function. </head>
My problem is it does not print the table dimension or the font size above a certain size. When I print in landscape, which is what this page is designed for, it prints the same size as "scaled to fit" portrait. On the screen the size is correct and if I use the browser print button, it prints to the correct size.
The css works, it will make changes and will even make the text smaller just won't print over a certain size (9pt?).
Is it possible to do an ie print from javascript that does not bring up the print dialog? I'm in a situation where i need to load a sequence of files into a browser and print all of them without any user interaction.
I've got a javascript function in a parent document that generates an HTML document on the fly when a button is clicked... that generated popup contains a button that's supposed to print the contents of the popup window (self). However, the button won't print (nothing happens on click) from the newly generated popup to print the contents of the window... the complete source for the generated page is below, I've tried every combination I can think of, but absolutely nothing happens when I click the button... I tried the right-click print from the context menu, and everything comes up... so, the issue's in code somewhere ....
Basically in IE7 when you click Print Preview from the menu and the click a close button on that page which executes window.close() - the browser does not close. One thread indicated that the browser is still spooling to the Printer (when it is not) and this prevents the close() from working.
I've scrollable screen. I'm having a print button on it and "window.print()" function is called on its onclick event.My problem is it only prints the "viewable" part of the screen, not the whole screen.P.S. I'm using IE7 and it must work for IE7 atleast (for rest I'm not bothered).
When I click the l hyperlink, the print box comes up and I go to preview, but nothing is on the page. I have a print style sheet that hides everything else on the page and re-adjusts the couponBox's overflow to appear, but the image that's in couponBox that is supposed to show doesn't when I preview. However, after I cancel out the print box and go to print from the browser, the image appears just as it's supposed to.
Is it possible to print [using window.print()] a page that has no "title" and "page number" on the top and no "link adress" and "date" on the bottom (to print just a page just as it is...)?
function PopUpWindow(w,h,urla,v) { document.getElementById('h1').value=v var popUpX = (screen.width/2)-w/2; var popUpY = (screen.height/2)-h/2; var pos = "left="+popUpX+",top="+popUpY; window.open(urla,'myPopup',"scrollbars=yes,width="+w+",height="+h+","+pos); }
The above function is called by the following button click event onclick = "PopUpWindow(390,500,'gal_rhinoplastyresult.html',photos1)" where photos1 is an image array
which opens the bellow page as follows....everything is fine but no functionality in print i.e. window.print() not working.
I have a requirement to print particular area of a web page. Web page has many div's and one iframe in it. I need to print a div and iframe content with one single print command. I am able to do so but then two print dialog boxes come up when the print command is given. I have written a javascript function to achieve this.
I did find a solution to this but then I do not understand why onload fails to work in this scenario. I am summarizing steps I had followed.
1) Read the contents of div using innerHTML and store it to a variable.
2) Read the contents of iframe and store it to a variable. "Details" is id of the iframe.
var iframeObj = document.getElementById("Details"); var iframeDoc; frameDoc = iframeObj.contentWindow.document;
3) Open a window and write all these content after writing these few lines flashDivWindow.document.write('<html><head><title>Print page</title></head><body onload="javascript:window.print()">');
When I view the source all HTML code can be seen as expected, however this doesn't trigger onload event. I need to refresh the page for print to happen, some thing which isn't practical. Using Javascript reload doesn't help as print is invoked even before the page content is reloaded.
I want have two iframes in a single php page and I print them using two print methods. May I know how to print the both iframes using a single print method?
you can see the print function when the program starts yet as soon as it finishes print has vanished why is this also when the program displays the result the variable displays the correct item except it has undefined next to it:
I m having a text data of around 6 page length in a text editor...I want to print dat data using window.print. For that i displayed dat data in a html page and used window.print(). Bt my client wants dat some line spaces shud be inserted first in the starting of the page and on the second page also...After that the printing shud be normal... How can i set the page in such a format...?
I don't know if this is even possible, but if I have a window.Print command is there a way to set the printing preference to Landscape by default. I have this table and I got it as small as possible but the print still gets cut off to the right. The only solution is printing in Landscape.
i'm trying to send a html page directly to the print preview and bypass opening it in a new window. i've found a good solution by having a frameset with 2 rows. the top row is relative while the bottom row is 1 pixel height (hidden at the bottom). the user clicks a print button in the main top frame and it loads the html page that needs to be printed in the bottom hidden frame. on the print file, i included:
<body onload="window.print();">
therefore, the code above initiates an instant print preview. the problem is that it doesn't work in safari (osx). instead of printing the specific frame that the page is in, it print the frameset at the _top of the browser window.i tried changing the location to this., parent.window, etc...but, none worked.
Is it possible to send attributes into this function to change the print preferences from Portrait to Landscape with IE 6.0 set as the standard browser? Right now I'm using
javascript:window.print()
as the command.
Clients want it and I want to confirm it's not possible. If I'm using an old, deprecated process, please give me a heads-up. I'm no Javascript genius.
I've written a Fax Cover Sheet generator web page for the company I work for. The user inputs all the information into a form and clicks 'print'. I do not know CGI, so i've accomplished the tasking using javascript to generate a pop-up window containing the formatted information from the form. However, no matter what I try, I can't get the browser to print the pop-up box instead of the main window. Can someone help me?
Here is sample code that imitates how the real page works:
