Does anyone know of a script that can just print the contents of an Iframe?

Hi,

This text/button is actually in the Iframe

If the button is in the iframe which you want printed, only a link like this is needed.

<a href="javascript:print();">Print this page</a>

Thanks for the help but I founfd the answer else where. In case anyone else needs it in the future

<a href="#" onClick="print(); return false;">click here to print this page</a>

Put this in each Iframe.

Nope, thought I had it but this only prints a certain part of the Iframe window and not all of it.

Need your help again please.

Maybe there is a wau to make the actual Iframe pop up in a window and print straight away then close.
The reason I ask this is because if the Iframe pops up and the "print this page" text is still there the user might try to press it again.

I really need help with this one.

Thanks guys

Rich
