Javascript window.open firefox/chrome issue

Answer 1

A:

Run print after the page is loaded, e.g.

printPopUp.onload = function() { printPopUp.print() }

(not tested)

Answer 2

A:

I suggest calling window.print() in the page being loaded into the pop-up rather than in the opener.

Tim Down 2010-04-13 09:34:06

can't because this is global script, its shared on all pages. If i'm doing that way, i need to duplicate code on all pages.

Answer 3

A:

As indicated in your comment, the urls to print are on the same domain. You cannot access the content of the other windows so you will have to set up some code on the popped up window that will call the opener to tell it it has opened.

popup.html

<script>
function onLoad() {
  if(window.opener && window.opener.popupLoaded) {
    window.opener.popupLoaded();  
  }
}
</script>
<html onoad="onLoad();">

main.html

function popupLoaded() {
  popup.print();
}
