Printing

Hello,

How do I print something directly to the users printer. So, when he clicks on a button/link a page will be printed. What happens is that the user selects products from a db and the specific products with there prices are then displayed on the screen - I now want to give the user the option to print this to his printer.

Thanks.

You can't print something from a webpage. The best you can do is make the Print Dialogue box pop up, and thats about it. It is a security issue.

I have also battled with this before - how do you force the print dialog box to come up??

check out this thread, fsystem provided a good example of how to do this...

Thanks sail3005

no problem. I am thinking of maybe creating a small FAQ if i get some time, like the other forums have. This one should definatly go in there though, because it gets asked a lot.
