I just need to get my form to print when they click on the print option. The person I'm building this for doesn't want to send it to email. But rather have them print it out and fax it over. Any scripting for faxing it to him from the form page?
They could click print on their browser, but some ppl aren't so web savey for that. Can someone tell me the scripting for this.
Thanks

I have never done it, but I have heard good things from people using hylafax server and client. To do what you are asking though, you are going to need access to the machine I believe to install this software, AND you may need to have a fax modem installed on the machine.

I also know of a service called interfax from which I have heard good things about. I don't know the cost of using interfax, I'm sorry.

So in recapping; I don't think you can simply just script to fax a form. It must be processed by a fax program with access to a Fax modem or emulated fax software.

Are you looking for something this easy:

onClick="window.print()"

I guess. I just need it to print or bring up the person's print window so they can click print.
Will that work.
Is there actually more to it then that?

Thanks

Ok, that worked. Most of my forms submit to a email not print and fax. Thank you for your help.
