Trouble with javascript:window.print

[Fedic]

My page is an ASP with a lot of VB.

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.

An example of my code for the cell I wish to generate this link in is as
follows:

Response.Write "<td valign='top'><font face='arial' size='1'><a
href='label.asp?MSDSID=" & strMSDS & "'>&nbsp; Label &nbsp;</a></font></td>" &
tsgDebug

Since your question isn't extension related, please ask such questions
in the Dreamweaver General group:

window.print() type of code that some try to use to force a page to
print automaticaly doesn't work in IE Mac. And when it does work in a
browser, the visitor has to be on the page that is being printed.

You could try having the "label" output placed into a hidden DIV and
then use a print media style sheet to show it, and hide the rest of the
page when printed:

Some browsers may respect the following type of code in the page that
you want to print a different page. IE6 does, but Firefox does not,
beyond that no idea of the support or lack of support in other browsers
such as Safari and Opera.
<link rel="alternate" media="print" href="printversion.htm">
