Print command problem

#1

Hey Guys,

Small problem I'm having...

I'm using Dreamweaver 4 - Never upgraded! And I have a map JPEG for a site - nearly fills a 800 X 600 page, I want to put a "print Map" command at the top of the map - Is there a facility in Dreamweaver 4 to do this?

Thanks in advance!

You can use javascript to call the browser's print function (in some, but
not all) browsers.

But I have to ask: why? There's a perfectly usable PRINT icon in the browser
toolbar already, not to mention the FILE >> PRINT command.

I'm designing a website with a city map in it, and I want to let visitors to the site have a click option to print the map I have (say a printer frendly map) Does Dreamweaver do this?

Cheers!

there are loads of ways to do this, heres 3:


<body onLoad="window.print()">


<script language="Javascript">

</script>


<a href="javascript

rint()">Print</a>

All fail on IE5x/Mac. So, it's not really fair to say there are loads of
ways, is it?

babaroberts:

Here is the best I have found for Macs.

Put this in the head of the document -

<script>
function print_page(where){
var is_mac=(navigator.platform.indexOf("ac") != -1);
(document.all && is_mac)?
alert("Select \"Print\" from the menu") : where? where.window.print() :
window.print();
}
</script>

Put this in the body of the document -

<a href="javascript

rint_page()">Print this</a>
