Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a button that will printo out the current page.

What I want to do is have the user fill out a form (containing name, address, zip, etc). They will then click on a "print" button and it will print out the form data. Any ideas?

Thanks.

If you know php, then you could make it so that the form data is 'sent' and displayed on a new page, then have print butten (that may be done with javascript, dunno how tho)

If you need some help, just ask...

Thanks for the help. I can do the PHP part, I get that. It's the sending it to the printer that I would like to know how to do.

A quick search, and I found this:

CODE
<script Language="Javascript">

/*

*/

function printit(){  
if (window.print) {
   window.print();  
} else {
   var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
   WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box    WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";  
}
}
</script>

<script Language="Javascript">  
var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape");
var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (VERSION > 3) {
   document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>');        
}
</script>

cragllo has given a slightly complicated code...
It is broswer sensitive as it test your broswer compatibility before executing the codes...

Here's my version, simple and easy to understand...
This code loads faster as well...

CODE

<html>

<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>
<script language="javascript">
function printpage()
 {
  window.print();
 }
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form>
<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="printpage();">
</form>
</body>

</html>

That is simple tongue.gif
And all this talk about printing a page has given me an idea, i will add an options bar to my site smile.gif

You can also use this code instead of the form:
CODE
<a href="" onclick="printpage();">print</a>

Interesting... All this stuff makes my head explode! dry.gif Anyways, I like the window.print() function the best with JavaScript because it's so simple and you basically cannot forget it. But are you sure that you add the semi-colon (wink.gif at the end of a function in JavaScript?

You could even omit the Javascript with the function by using the command right from the button:
CODE
<input type="button" value="Print Page!" onclick="window.print()" />

Of course you couldn't print without displaying the box first. If javascript had that kind of power could you imagine the abuse websites could do? Print out 40 pages of pure black while your surfing the net and you wouldn't even know until you hear the printer going.

    In my application I have a custom tag that generates all the action buttons that the page needs. My
    problem is that in IE the space between the left side of the button and the image inside the button
    are not consistant. Some buttons have 3 or 4 more pixels of padding on the left side then others.
    This causes my buttons to be too large and hence the area the buttons are generated in stretches too
    far. I could wrap the buttons around to another line or add scroll bars.. but if it will fit in FF I
    think it should fit in IE as well. So my question is can I set the padding....
