Printing with frames?

[annebooth]

I have a small problem with the page that I am making. The page consists of three frames: a top, left, and a main frame on the right. I have a print button in the top frame and I need it to print the contents of the main right frame. How can I do this?

A little info: I have all of the frame pages set up and working good. I know HTML pretty well. I'm using Adobe GoLive to construct the page. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anne

Not a javascript expert but try parent.framename.print();

>> I have a print button in the top frame and I need it to print the contents of the main right frame.

In the [tt]onclick[/tt] attribute of your print button I would assume.

I Tryed It But It Just Keeps Printing the top fram and I need it to print the center fram. a little more help please

thank Ann

replace the &quot;framename&quot; clause with the name of the center frame, ie change:
onclick=&quot;parent.framename.print();&quot;>
to
onclick=&quot;parent.CenterFrameName.print();&quot;>

I did that and all it did was put a box print button that, when pressed, prints off the top banner where it is located.

Thanks!

Did you change &quot;CenterFrameName&quot; to the actual name of your main frame?

yeah. did u do it? CenterFrameName must be replaced with what u have in ur frameset code...

Yes, I changed it to the name of the center frame, which is Calendar. It keeps printing the top banner. Could it be because I am using GoLive? I thought that I had read that you aren't able to do that in their program.

Very confused...
