JavaScript - Window.print() Ie Issue
This should be a simple fix.
I have a basic html form with some text input fields and a couple drop down selection lists. Our employees print the form and include it with items they need our shipping department to ship for them. The form uses the following verification script to ensure the required fields have been populated before the screen prints. It works exactly as desired in Safari and Firefox. In Internet Explorer, however, the selections made in the drop down lists are reset to the default values on the printed form. Before you respond with, "don't use Internet Explorer," you have to understand that Internet Explorer is our only corporate approved web browser because it is the only browser supported by some of our other "mission critical" third party web apps and because it can be more rigorously controlled using Group Policies than Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, et al, can. Any advice on how to make the form print without resetting the drop down list selections? Code: <script language="javascript">
function verify() {
var themessage = "You must provide the following information";
if (document.shipment.SenderName.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Sender Name";
}
if (document.shipment.SenderEmail.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Sender Email";
}
if (document.shipment.Dept.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Department";
}
if (document.shipment.Contact.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Ship To Contact";
}
if (document.shipment.Street1.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Ship To Street 1";
}
if (document.shipment.City.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Ship To City / Locale";
}
if (document.shipment.country.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Ship To Country";
}
if (document.shipment.state.value == "") {
themessage = themessage + ", Ship To State / Province";
}
//alert if fields are empty and cancel form submit
if (themessage == "You must provide the following information") {
window.print();
return false;
}
else {
alert(themessage);
return false;
}
}
</script>
Similar TutorialsI would like to create a print preview window that will display only the main content of the page that a person would really want to print. I found a script that didn't do that, but that I was able to adapt, somewhat. It doesn't fully work though and I can't get it any better. Here is what I have... <html> <head> <title></title> <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function displayHTML(printContent) { var inf = printContent; win = window.open("print.htm", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no'); win.document.write(inf); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="printarea">Print this stuff.</div> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="displayHTML(printarea.innerHTML)">Print Preview</a> </body> </html> In mozilla it opens the new window but continues to be thinking about something indefinitly. In Safari the new window opens but there is no content. In IE it seems to work fine. I haven't tested NS yet, nor have I tested any of this on a PC. Thanks for any help. Hey there, I've scrollable screen. I'm having a print button on it and "window.print()" function is called on its onclick event. My problem is it only prints the "viewable" part of the screen, not the whole screen. P.S. I'm using IE7 and it must work for IE7 atleast (for rest I'm not bothered). Thanks in anticipation. Hello gurus I have a page that needs to be printed 3 times. Window.Print() is such a great function, but I can't change the default number of pages to 3 with it. Is there anyway to do this? I was thinking maybe if it's a way not showing the print page at all, just printing after the button is hit, I could put it in a loop and print 3 times. Do you guys know of any remedy? Help this poor mortal in here Hi guys, hoping you can help me out again, with this new problem. I've got a form which is acting as a calculator. Once the calculation is complete I want it so when the user presses a 'print' button it takes certain parts of the form data and displays them in a new window which would be designed for printing. how can i go about this using only javascript? thanks Hi, Ours is a web based application. In a particular use case, print-receipt; we pull up data from database and display it a new window ... followed by a javascript::window.print() To print the content. But this prints the browser window - in graphic mode. The target printer, attached to the browser machine is a Dot matrix printer; and consumes a lot off time to print a single window (because of the graphic nature) Can the printing be done in text mode ? thank you. jeevan I'm having trouble getting Google Chrome to print the correct content when I change the content of a modal page with JavaScript. This is my code: JavaScript: Code: function printCoupon(couponID)
{
var originalContents = document.body.innerHTML;
var printable = document.getElementById(couponID);
var printContents = printable.innerHTML;
document.body.innerHTML = printContents;
window.print();
document.body.innerHTML = originalContents;
document.getElementById(couponID).scrollIntoView(true);
}
HTML: Code: <body>
<div id="coupon1"><p>Coupon 1 contents</p></div>
<div><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="printCoupon('coupon1');return false;">Print Coupon</a></div>
<div id="coupon2"><p>Coupon 2 contents</p></div>
<div><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="printCoupon('coupon2');return false;">Print Coupon</a></div>
</body>
This works in IE8 and FF 3.6, but Chrome 16 prints the original content, not the printable content. UPDATE: I just discovered another problem with this script. In IE9, the parent page is printed along with the modal (the modal looks transparent), instead of just the modal. What did I do wrong... Code: function pageWidth() {return window.innerWidth != null? window.innerWidth: document.body != null? document.body.clientWidth:null;}
function pageHeight() {return window.innerHeight != null? window.innerHeight: document.body != null? document.body.clientHeight:null;}
width = pageWidth();
height = pageHeight();
var window = document.getElementById("desktop");
var menuBar = document.getElementById("menuBar");
var menuBarButton = document.getElementById("menuBarButton");
var menuBarContainer = document.getElementById("menuBarContainer");
var menuBarClock = document.getElementById("menuBarClock");
window.style.width = (pageWidth() - 5) + "px";
window.style.height = (pageHeight() - 5) + "px";
menuBar.style.width = (pageWidth() - 5) + "px";
menuBar.style.height = (pageHeight() - 5) + "px";
I have a cross domain iframe resizing script (using postMessage) that works perfectly in Chrome, FF, Safari and IE9 - browsers that use addEventListener I'm trying to get it to work in IE8 by adding what I thought was the right language for attachEvent, but it's not working in IE8 - I just get 'Object doesn't support this property or method' - again just in IE8. Here's the js in the page with the iframe - What am I doing wrong ? Thanks. Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function resize(id, other_domain) {
var iframe = document.getElementById(id);
if (window.addEventListener)
{
window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
var howtall = parseInt(event.data);
iframe.height = howtall + "px";
}, false);
}
else if (window.attachEvent)
{
window.attachEvent('onmessage', function(event) {
var howtall = parseInt(event.data);
iframe.height = howtall + "px";
});
}
else { alert('old browser'); }
}
window.onload = function(){resize('my_iframe', '*')};

Dear All, I have downloaded some code from a javascript programmers website but having trouble making it work! I have some javascript: [CODE] <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function dropdown(mySel) { var myWin, myVal; myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value; if(myVal) { if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target]; else myWin = window; if (! myWin) return true; myWin.location = myVal; } return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> [CODE] Within the main body, my code reads: [CODE] <FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/redirect.pl" METHOD=POST onSubmit="return dropdown(this.gourl)"> <SELECT NAME="gourl"> <OPTION VALUE="">Please select your event... <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.co.uk"> preview yahoo UK</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.com"> preview yahoo US</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.fr"> preview yahoo FR</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.expedia.co.uk"> preview Expedia</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.travelocity.co.uk"> preview Travelocity</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.onlinepictureproof.com"> preview online pics</option> </SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Go"> </FORM> [CODE] On selection of "preview yahoo UK" from drop-down box, it takes me to the correct webpage (www.yahoo.co.uk), so no issue there. However, it opens this page up in a new window. I'm pretty sure this is because the javascript code is telling it to. However, I want the www.yahoo.co.uk page to be displayed in the same window from where the request came from? (i.e. I don't want it to open a new browser window)! What do I have to change in the javascript to make this happen? I tried using the TARGET functionality taught to me many many moons ago, but it still fires up a new window: <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.co.uk" TARGET="_top"> preview yahoo UK</option> I am testing this on my PC, so perhaps it could be that redirect.pl isn't held locally on my home pc, i.e. it would work once we upload the web pages to the web server?! any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Hi all, I'm new to the forum and new to javascript. I have a main image with two thumbnails underneath. When you click on the thumbnail it makes that into the main image. I now want to be able to click on the main image to open a new window with the full size. I can do both seperatly but when I try to put them together the open window only works on the first image, when you click a thumbnail they won't open into a new page. http://www.blockdesigns.co.uk/Product1.php?Sku=20097 P.S all my data and images are recieved using php and the thumbnail is a swap connent that also uses an external php file. Any advice or a point in the right direction would be great. Thank you. Hello all, and thank you for your coments, I want to preserve a 16/9 aspect ratio to the window after any resize, making the width a function of the height. As I have a window.resizeTo() inside the window.onresize event function, the infinite loop is served. How may I quit it? Code: <html><head><title>Title</title><script languaje="javascript">
const c_ra=16/9;
window.onresize = function WindowReSize() {
var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0;
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
// myWidth = window.innerWidth;
myHeight = window.innerHeight;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
// myWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
myWidth = Math.floor(myHeight*c_ra);
window.resizeTo(myWidth,myHeight); // ** CAUTION resize event in a onresize event handler !

i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html <HTML> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> function sendTo() { window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); } </SCRIPT> <BODY > <form name="form"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails1"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails2"> </br> <input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="sendTo()"> </BODY> </HTML> child.html <html> <body> <form> <input type=text name="text5" value=""> <input type=submit name="submit"value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> hello everybody i need your help and experience for having code to show ( overlay / modal window ) to the user when closing or navigating away from the page ( i want put in this window facebook share to make the user to share the page in his facebook ) , bytheway i wanna use it in my wordpress in every post could it be happen ? Thanks for helping Here is the program: http://www.1728.com/newwindow.htm Basically, I want to input a number in the input box, which assigns a number to the variable numval located at document.box1.b1. When clicking on the "new window" button, an alert displays the input box value, then another window opens and displays the integers 1 through 12 and the amount squared. I would like the new window to obtain the number from the previous window so that the new window will display integers (and their squares) from 1 to the value of numval. I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code: Code: checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")
I have the code below in my popup window which currently brings up a blank page in the background as the main window. Instead I want the popup to come up but the original page I left is in the background as the main window. Does anyone know how I can do that with the code I currently have. Code: <html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Popup Example 3</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function poponload()
{
testwindow = window.open("", "mywindow", "location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,width=350,height=400");
testwindow.moveTo(0, 0);
testwindow.document.write('<h1>Get outta here!</h1><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="window.opener.history.go(-1); self.close();">Parent back button</a>');
testwindow.focus();
}
</script>
<body onload="javascript: poponload()">
</body>

I am looking to have a link open a closeable window that is contained within a browser window. If you click on the "sizing charts" link on this website, this is exactly what I am looking to do: http://www.bella.com/mapper.php?pageid=40 The window is contained within the current browser window, it can be dragged around, but not outside the parameters of the browser window. Is there a title for this technique that I can research? Not looking to waste anybodys time, but if I can get steered in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks After following the instructions from the answer below: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/an...arent-document I was able to have the child window perform the function defined in the parent window. The function was to only have an alert window pop up as the child page was loading. I easily modified this to my intention which was to have a parent function performed when the child window was clicked. Using the body tag: Code: <body onclick="parent.FUNCTION NAME HERE()"> I first change the method in which the function would be triggered, all went well there. then I tried to change which function would be triggered. (Basically use the function I wanted to happen on click of the child window rather then the function from the test). Once I did this switch, nothing happens. The site this is being used on is: http://tylerpanesar.ca/ What I want is when the menu bar is open in the parent window, the user chooses a link and the menu closes and goes to that link in the child window. This already works. However if the user opens the menu bar and then changes there mind and continues with the page the are currently on (clicks any content in the child window), the menu stays open. Currently the menu "hides" only when you choose one of the menu items, but it does not "hide" when you CLICK on child document. If you could figure out how to get it to "hide" on a "mouse out" that would be the better option. I attempted this method however i could only get it to "toggle" the menu on "mouse out". This method does however create an annoying flicker when you hover over the menu items (as it is toggling the open menu command I guess). If I had it "hide" the menu on "mouse out" it would "hide" as soon as you moved off of the main button. The viewer doesn't even have a chance to click a link. or at least that is what happens when I did it. You may have a better method to achieve this. The script that tells it to hide on click is within a jQuery function: Code: menua
.click(
function(){
menu.hide();
the code I used for the mouseout toggle was: Code: menu
.mouseout(
function(){
menu.toggle();
Here is the script that I am currently using for the menu to open and the "click" hide feature. This menu feature comes from the following help: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1740-Bu...-FaceBook-.htm Code: <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function( $ ){
var menuRoot = $( "#menu-root" );
var menu = $( "#menu" );
var menua = $( "#menu a" );
// Hook up menu root click event.
menuRoot
.attr( "href", "javascript:void( 0 )" )
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.toggle();
// Blur the link to remove focus.
menuRoot.blur();
// Cancel event (and its bubbling).
return( false );
}
)
;
menua
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.hide();
}
)
;
// Hook up a click handler on the document so that
// we can hide the menu if it is not the target of
// the mouse click.
$( document ).click(
function( event ){
// Check to see if this came from the menu.
if (
menu.is( ":visible" ) &&
!$( event.target ).closest( "#menu" ).size()
){
// The click came outside the menu, so
// close the menu.
menu.hide();
}
}
);
});
</script>
I've tried adding the click to "hide" menu feature to the child document but there is now menu in that document for it to "hide". What I was trying to was have the child document execute a function from the parent document and have that function executed IN the parent document. I've tried the technique from the link in my very first post but I believe it only calls the function from the parent and executes it IN the child. Which does not work for me as the menu is not in the child. There should be a way to make the child execute a function FOR the parent. I apologize for this very wordy post, but I am extremely frustrated with this now as I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tyler Hi All, I need to show/focus the parent window which is in back when click a link from child window in Chrome.This problem is in Chrome browser only. We have used the below code self.blur(); Window.opener.focus(); But this is not working in Google Chrome. Please suggest me some workaround to achieve this.

Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,311 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts Window is not defined. window is. JavaScript (and the DOM) is case sensitive. You must pay attention to upper/lower case spelling, carefully. By the way, you shouldn't need the blur() call. If you focus on some window (any window) then any other focus should be lost. Hi Ive found out how to force another browser window to open at a certain size when a link is clicked. Here's the whole line of code including the layer, the javascript and the image, <div id="Layer6" style="position:absolute; width:10px; height:8px; z-index:6; left: 561px; top: 310px"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('navigation%20instructions.htm','','width=50,height=50')"><img src="images/info.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0"></a></div> How do I adapt this so I can also specify the x&y co-ordinates of the opened window relative to the window that launched it. thanks alot Masten |
