Re: print script

There's javascript that prints the window (if you're not on a mac or certain browsers, I forget which ones). Do a js check to see if that functionality is available and if it's not just tell the user to print from their file menu: <script language="JavaScript"> if( window.print ){ document.write('<a href=\"javascript:window.print();\"> click here to print this page</a>.'); } else { document.write('Select print from the file menu to print this page..'); } </script> Jeff Jordan wrote: > I am not familiar with printing data from a website I do not know what is > the best way to print data as well.
