Using the window.print() method in Javascript

Crossbrowser support

[anubis]

Hello

I have a web page at the following url

<snip>

At the bottom of the page is a link to print the page. Now this seems to work on Windows PC's but not on Mac in Internet Explorer.

The code i have used is below and I just wondered if any one knew of a way to get this to work in Explorer. The code seem to work in Netscape on the Mac and as I have said there is no problem in Explorer on windows PC's

<a href="JavaScript: onclick=window.print();" class="hlink">print</a>

Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

Cheers

IE5+ will do window.print. Call the method without the onclick in the href like:

<a href="JavaScript:window.print();" class="hlink">print</a>

Save the code and drop the link. "Print" is just a mouseclick or keystroke away by default.
