IE7 Window.close() Does Not Work After Print Preview?
Jan 29, 2010
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.
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.
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.
Through window.open or window.showmodaldialog, I want to open a word or excel document in Print Preview mode. Bcos I don't want the user to make any changes or save it but the user can ONLY VIEW OR take a print out.
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 ....
I'm looking for a Print preview feature is like in IE File->Print Preview and i want to put it in a button. that means i want to create button, when i select on it, it will show the print preview windows like what current IE does. I'm currently using IE 7.
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)
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.
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?).
I am using a jquery form preview called Modalpreview.
[URL]
It works fine for previewing a single text area of a form, but what I'd like to do is have the other fields in my form appear in the preview as well. I know I can specify different fields by their id in the domready event, but I can't seem to get all fields to appear in the one modal window.
how to get this to work? Will I need to make changes to the javascript and css files also?
I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?
Before image upload I want users to preview their choice. For some reason JS doesn't work with all browsers except FF.When a user selects file, JS preview function should insert it into #addPreview div where preview.gif is located as a default picture. If everything goes OK preview.gif is replaced with new selected file. Otherwise wrong size or file type is detected. Alert message appears in #addPreviewAlert div.Here's my code:
HTML CODE
Code: <!-- ALERTS --> <div id="addPreviewAlert"></div> <!-- END ALERTS -->[code]...
Tell me why Firefox works as desired, but all other browsers don't allow any preview. They don't show any JS error messages and alerts either.
I want to create quick preview window for images listed in my website. For example: if you go to this site [URL] there are little images on the right end side. When mouse over on any image, a bit preview window opens. I want something like this. How can i do it?
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.
I so far have a scrollable image gallery of some thumbnails, I now wish to be able to click on the thumbnails and it load the corresponding full sized image with the website and everything else behind it being darkened/dimmed.the xhtml is structured like this so far, with no links to the full size images
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...)?
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 need a script that will open a new window (popup / new link) in a specific size, but will also close the old window (where the popup came from). I know the popup window is easy but finding a work-able close window script as the new window is opened is impossible!!
I have an HTML page where I am opening a child window using window.open. the child window is something like yahoo.com. I want to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
