Help with javascript:window.print()

Fedic · Fedic

I am trying to send a specific page to the printer using
javascript:window.print(). There has to be a way top so this. I assume the
variable can be placed in the parantheses like so

javascript:window.print(label.asp?MSDSID=004984)

I'm getting an error. Can someone shed some light on this for me?

You could have something like

<link rel="alternate" media="print" href="label.asp?MSDSID=004984">

Might not work in all browsers though.

I could find no such usage, Jules, in the O'Reilly references. While href
is allowed in the link tag, it doesn't appear to function as you show below.

It works in IE.

print.asp:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link rel="alternate" media="print" href="print_page.asp">
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:window.print()">print</a>
</body>
</html>

print_page.asp:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
boo
</body>
</html>

Do you have them mounted? Can you post a link?

Go to [url]http://71.97.138.65/isgmsds/[/url]

Then go to [url]http://71.97.138.65/isgmsds/search(new).asp?t=i[/url]

You will see the link to the far right that takes the user to a page formatted
to print a label. I want this page (label.asp) to be instantly sent to the
printer. If I can't send it directly to the printer then I want to generate a
print dialog that will print this page without opening that label formatted
page in a browser window.

My code for this cell in my table is as follows:

Response.Write "<td valign='top'><a
href='label.asp?MSDSID=" & strMSDS & "'>  Label  </a></td>" &
tsgDebug

In IE, go here

[url]http://www.charon.co.uk/misc/print.asp[/url]

it should print out

Thanks. As expected it fails utterly in IE5x/Mac. In both FF and Safari
(PC) and , it triggers the print, but only of the page itself, not of
print_page.asp. It seems to only work in IE6/PC (didn't check earlier
versions).

Yup, I believe it only works in IE. May be good enough for Fedic.

I have an interim solution. The user clicks on the link which takes the user
to a page formatted for my label printer. The page initiates the print
function and returns to the previous page through an onload in the body tag.

Any comments or suggestions on this solution?

Murray *TMM* · Murray *TMM*

Don't usse a print function at all. Let the visitor use FILE | Print.
Everyone knows how to do it.

Onloads will fail for this purpose.
