javascript:window.print() crashes IE6

when used with an image link

[benihana]

Hi
I have a popup window with the following code at the bottom to display links to close the window or print the page:

<a href="javascript:window.close();"><img src="images/close.gif" border=0></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="javascript:window.print()"><img src="images/print.gif" border=0></a>

the window.close works fine, but 90% of the time the window.print crashes IE6 when used with an image link. When I use it with a text link it works fine. It also works fine with an image in NS 7 and mozilla. Has anyone come across this before, or have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks

It works perfectly fine for me (Win2K, IE6).

Don't really think it is related, but I don't think you need the ; after the window.close().

just a try: <a href="javascript:" onclick="window.print();return false"><img src="images/print.gif" border=0></a>

How did you fix it benihana?

Was it Xuefer's onclick suggestion or something else?

[benihana]

yeah Xuefer's suggestion did the trick.

hmm,..
seems my guessing is right.
when u click on a link, even it's "javascript:..."
or submit
the page maybe "going" to destruct(unload), or something else.
if u do something special, ie will crash

i used to get crash report from ie5.x users
that's when they submit a form and the js setTimeout to do something
