Thread: print problem

Hi,


I have this code on the page which displays a image.

<a href="print.asp?id=<%=ID%>"><img src="/image/imglink.gif" border="0" /></a>

When a person clicks on the image it opens up print.asp

What i want to do is when a person clicks on the image i want to print the page print.asp

i tried window.print but its not working

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong

I tried it buddy it works

But my problem is I dont want to display print.asp to the user

I just want it to be printed is there a way I can make it happen

also when the page is printed

It shows the URL at the bottom of the page

Can i hide that url

todd

I use this activex control. Means users have to install it onto their machine, but it allows you to control the margins, header, footer etc.

I also don't know of a way to print the page without displaying it. It's just printing whatever is displayed in the browser so if there's nothing there it won't print anything.

You can open the page and call a JS function onload that prints the page, either using this activex or as shown above and then use window.close to immediately close the window.

Hope that helps.
