Printing Docs Without Opening Them?
Sep 21, 2010Does anybody know if it's possible to print a bunch of documents that are listed on a page without opening them? This may not be possible but thought I'd ask around first.

Loading Docs Into Frames
Jul 23, 2005How come my browser, namely ie6, can reload(or load from favourites) a frameset and remember which documents were loaded into the frames without a query string?
I need to capture this in javascript so I can make sure my frames are inside the correct frameset yet still allowing users to load up with a particularly favourite doc. This is not done using a query string, or does not appear to be, so how is it done?
For example I load a frameset doc named index.html which contains 2 frames namely header.html and main1.html, main1.html has a link which loads main2.html into it's own frame. Now I add to favourites with main2.html showing. Next I go to a completely different site, delete all cache etc and close down IE. Then starting IE afresh I load the saved favourite and with no query string it loads main2.html.
JQuery :: Do API Docs Keep Changing Format
Mar 19, 2010Why do the API docs keep changing format? Can we keep them in the old more organized format? Having a giant list of methods makes it difficult to find information.

Jan 21, 2010I have been trying to discover why the first() and last() methods are not working in my jQuery 1.2 nor 1.3 tests. After searching for a while, I found the alternative way with filter() and eq(), but I still wonder why none of those methods work.
The API documentation [URL]... states that they are available since 1.2, but they won't work, I always get a "not a function" error. I also found a tracker entry [URL].. discussing the need for them, but nothing is clear from it.
AJAX's XMLHttpRequest Used To Bring Back PDF And Excel Docs?
May 14, 2006Can I use the XMLHttpRequest object to call a url which would generate a PDF and then display it to the screen?
I'm new to AJAX and I'm very interested in using it to asychronously bring back documents with a content-type that IS NOT text/plain or text/html (like a PDF or Excel document) and then display that document to the screen. I have a web application that dynamically generates PDF and Excel documents. A user may have to wait a minute for the new doc to be created and displayed to the user. I want to put an animated notice saying the doc is being generated similar to what you see when you execute a search on a search engine. I've tried using animated gifs (with frames, etc.) but they don't work. As soon as a request is sent for the PDF, the browser halts the gif in IE. If I could instead call the URL that will produce the PDF asynchronously, then I could display the animated gif and call the PDF at the same time. Once the PDF is generated, I want it to then be displayed to the screen.
Arrange A Multiple File Upload Dialog Without Flash - Google-Docs-like - Ex Inside?
Sep 21, 2010I always wanted to know how to arrange uploading of multiple files without resorting to Flash. I actually even know a great example of such an upload form: [URL] (you need to be logged into Google Docs to see this) It definitely doesn't use Flash, but the source code is so obscure and clogged that i couldn't decipher it so far. In fact, all i need is a possibility to invoke a file load dialog with the ability to select multiple files, and after they are selected, be able to fetch their absolute paths on a local PC. I don't even need to actually upload them afterwards.

Jul 23, 2005I have a frameset with two frames, and want to have a button in one
frame call print() in the other one:
This is the layout:
<frameset rows="*,40" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="..." name="pritableText">
<frame src="..." name="printButton" scrolling="NO" noresize>
</frameset>
And, in printButton, I got this code:
<a href="#" onClick="parent.printableText.focus();
parent.printableText.print();">Print the page</a>
However, nothing happens in Netscape (7.01) and Firefox (0.8), and in IE (6)
I get an "error in the script". However, I do not identify the error.
Does anyone have a clue onto what's happening?
Printing Envelopes From The Web
Jun 7, 2007We have clients asking that we provide an easy way to print envelops
from within our web applications. These envelopes need to be pretty
advanced, and need to include a bar code and maybe even a logo. My
boss wants a solution where we simply "push" the Word or ODF file to
the client's computer and it automatically prints on their printer.
I actually think that is what our clients are hoping for as well.
I've told him I am pretty darn sure that can't be done, because both
Word and Open Office files may contain viruses.
My suggestion has been to generate a Word or ODF file that the user
can download, open and then print. Alternatively, we could probably
generate a PDF to accomplish the same thing. These solutions might
involve extra steps, but I know they are possible.
I want to make sure there isn't some other alternative we haven't
considered, so I thought I would email this group and see if anyone
has some suggestions as to how they would approach this problem.

Why Is It Printing '[Object]'?
Feb 11, 2007To explain my problem very briefly: I use document.write to print a string variable containing a string. The output I get is:

Printing - Fit On One Page
Aug 18, 2005I have a calender I made in PHP and when you choose a week in opens up in a pop-up window. I have a simple JavaScript to display a print button. The problem is that the calender is very wide, so you have to print it as a "landcape", but even then the whole thing doesn't fit on the paper. Furthermore, it doesn't fill out the paper in the top and bottom.
It's a bit hard to explain, but I hope you understand what I mean. How can I make it fit the paper when being printed? Here's the JavaScript I use:
<script language="Javascript1.2">
<!--
var message = "Print this Page";
function printpage() {
window.print();
}
document.write("<form><input type=button "
+"value=""+message+"" onClick="printpage()"></form>");
//-->
</script>
Switch Off A Js When Printing?
May 6, 2010I'm trying to make a printable version of a webpage using the css @media tag. On the page is a javascript which works great for the on-screen version but I need to find a way to switch it off when printing as it hides content.
Beyond building a separate page I can't think of anything obvious!
Printing Linked Documents
Jul 23, 2005I have an html file which contains link to 4 reports ( html files
). Instead of letting the user open one link at a time, and then
printing the report , I want to print all the reports with a single
button click, say on pressing a button "Print All" .
I have found out a way, in which the reports can be printed , but
the print dialog box is coming up each time( eg. for 4 reports it is 4
times, and for n documents it would be n number of times ) ; which I
find very irritating . I would rather prefer a single print dialog box
coming up for n number of reports .
Printing Part Of A Page
Jul 23, 2005How do you print part of an html page using the javascript print()
function? Is it possible to put the printable area inside a
<div></div> block and print it, or can you use a hidden style then
print it?
Is there a site on the www which has some information?
Printing HTML Pages In A Row.
Jul 23, 2005I have many html files, and I hope I could print those files in a row.
Is this possbile to print a lot of html files(which are on a web server)
in a row with just one button click javascipt?
It's almost impossible to show as one html page to users, because that's
too big.
Style Display:none And Printing
Jan 4, 2006Situation:
A (rather long) page that contains a lot of divs.
Some are visible (display:inline) at a certain time, other not.
The javascript is responsible for divs to be visible or not.
Question:
If the browser is displaying some divs, and the user gives a printcommand
for the page, can I be sure only the visible parts are printed?
On my machine this is working fine (W2000/IE6), but I hope it will work on
all setups that support display:inline and display:none (= every modern
browser I think).
Could this give problems for different printers/printdrivers?
Or can I trust that if the browser can handle divs right, it will send the
correct commands to the printer?
Printing A Target Frame
Nov 17, 2006I have a webpage that uses frames (yes I know, frames - previously been
flamed about that, but I do not know anything else to use since I am
clueless!!! Been asked to cobble together a site since there is a
misconception that I know what I am doing!!!)
Anyway, one of the things I have been asked to do is create a button
that will allow the user to print the contents of the main window (main
frame) without the navigation bar (header frame) being printed.
Having been looknig into this, I have found the following:

JQuery :: Example Of Printing From A Lightbox?
Dec 19, 2011Can anyone refer me to a site that demonstrates printing from a lightbox? I'm not looking for a site that explains how to print from a lightbox. I'm looking for a site that does printing from a lightbox.
Context: I think that a lightbox would be a good solution for some browser compatibility problems in my client's user interface. The information I need to display in the lightbox is a certificate which the user will print. For a lightbox plugin to be useful, I must be able to (1) print the contents of the lightbox, not the whole screen, and (2) show my client how the concept works.
I was originally planning to recommend Shadowbox until I realized that printing was a problem. I've found instructions for printing from Shadowbox, but no examples, which puts me in the position of having to do all of the implementation work before I can produce a demo that will enable my client to decide whether they want me to do it or not.
I'd still be happy to use Shadowbox if it meets my needs. I'd be happy to use anything else that meets my needs, too. I need a lightbox that can display an HTML page or (ideally) a PDF, not just an image file. Printing doesn't have to be started from the browser's menu; it can be started from a special button in the lightbox frame. (Shadowbox works that way.)
Printing A Page In A Frame
Jun 21, 2007I'm having great problems trying to print out pages from within the middle frame of three horizontal frames in Internet Explorer (only):
<frameset framespacing="1" rows="45,*,35">
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="no" noresize target="middle" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="topframe.html">
<frame name="middle" marginwidth="8" marginheight="16" target="_parent" scrolling="yes" src="page.html">
<frame name="bottom" target="middle" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" noresize src="botframe.html">
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
The problem is that the pages spill over to another page (in all printers I've tested - and in a pdf) BUT (and this is weird) if I print the page OUTSIDE of the frames, they print out on one single page as designed. The javascript used to print the page is simple enough:
function printit(){
window.parent.middle.focus();
window.print();
}
...but i don't think the function is the problem.
Does anyone know why a page would print out differently (i.e. longer) if inside a frame in a frameset, why this should be so, and what I can do to prevent the difference and have it print like a normal page?
Clarify Printing With Javascript

When I use a print button and OnClick=window.print() it only prints what is currently displayed on the screen. Is there a way to print the entire report? Or if not what can be done?
