Printing contents of i-frame

[chrismassey]

Hello,

I have a javascript print button which prints the contents of the window... However I want it to print the contents of the i-frame its placed above. I would put it inside the i-frame however I want this print button to appear no matter whats in the i-frame... Heres the orignal button...

<A HREF="javascript:window.print()><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Click Here To Print</b></font></A><iframe src ="$i_frame_url" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" name="contentframe"></iframe>

However the button will print the whole window... So I tried this...

<A HREF="javascript:window.print().target="contentframe"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Click Here To Print</b></font></A><iframe src ="$i_frame_url" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" name="contentframe"></iframe>

Although this does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi

<a href="javascript:[red]contentframe[/red].print()">Click Here To Print</a>

When you post code, please remove the decorations like [tt]font[/tt] and [tt]b[/tt] tags. It is easier to read it and faster to post a solution.

The JS function

<script language=javascript>
function printMe(ptarget)
{
ptarget.focus();
ptarget.print();
}
</script>

The invoking button

<button onClick="print('YourIFrameName');">Print Iframe</button>

You only need:

<button onClick="print('YourIFrameName');">Print Iframe</button>

Hi,

Thank you very much for responding. I will try the javascript now. In future I will make sure I remove irrelevant tags within my code.

Thanks for your help
