Printing Framesets

Hi there,

Here is my situation:

I have a frameset with a left and right frame - left frame is called
"Navigation", right Frame is called "Content".

Within this "Content" frame I have another frameset with a top frame and
bottom frame.

The top Frame is called "topFrame" and has the page heading.
The bottom Frame is called "mainFrame" and has the page content.

I would like to place a link in the bottom frame "mainFrame" to print out the
entire right frameset "Content". I.E I would like to print out both "topFrame"
and "mainFrame" as if they were one page.

Please if anyone could help me I would be forever grateful!

A frameset in a frameset...
No, I don't think it's possible. Normally, the user will print out the
active frame, i.e. where he had clicked last time. If that's in the menu
frame - which it usually is - all he will get in the menu.
Get out of the misery: Trash the frames, make flat pages.

What Dan said. Then what you could do is something like:

<div id="leftbar">Nav stuff goes here</div>
<div id="header">Header goes here</div>
<div id="content">Content goes here</div>

Then define a print style sheet, and make the div leftbar hidden in the
print styles.

Sheesh, are you in the ITFS club too

No, I'm in the UFWIGAFPWIN society, which is very much more liberal.
Also, I'm in the KYFSCTY group, the Swedish cell. ;-)

put this in your head section:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_callJS(jsStr) { //v2.0
return eval(jsStr)
}

function MM_displayStatusMsg(msgStr) { //v1.0
status=msgStr;
document.MM_returnValue = true;
}


and this in your body section (beware of text wrapping in your newsreader)

<a href="#" onClick="parent.Content.focus(); parent.Content.print()"
onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('Print the content above');return
document.MM_returnValue" onMouseOut="MM_displayStatusMsg('');return
document.MM_returnValue">
Print </a>
