print then alert

[Pattycake245]

Since the search function is down I'll ask the question. I have a form which when submitted will automatically print the form. What I am wanting to do is have an alert come up after printing to say that the form was successfully submitted. However, this may pop up before the print prompt does. Is there any way to control this so that the alert does not come up until the print prompt has cleared? I'm thinking no, but I thougt I'd ask.

While you cannot wait for printing to end, you can use setTimeout() to delay the message. Here is an example:

// print the window
window.print();

// display an alert in 5 seconds
setTimeout("alert('hello')", 5000);
