Page Printing

**Glenvern** · 09-22-2005, 02:26 AM

How do I print a page with a button the page is not needed to be seen on screen.

example - my name and address for those who want it

I have tried -
window.print("pagetobeprinted.htm")

but it didn't work, it printed the current page..

what i would do is make 2 pages...

the first one has the content that you want...

the second one is for a frame in your first page...

use some javascript that will open a popup with the info you want then print it! then close it when it is done!

try this example:

HTML Code:

<!--PAGE 1-->
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<script>function pgPrint(){
printwindow = window.open('page2.html', 'win', 'height=1,width=1,left=20,top=20,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,status=no');
this.focus();
printwindow.close();
}</script>
</head>

<body>
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:pgPrint();" name="printbutton" value="print stuff">
</body>

</html>

HTML Code:

<!--PAGE 2-->
<html>
<body onload="this.print();">
put your address or whatever here!
</body>
</html>
