I want to print a web page using javascript. But I do not want to open the page as a popup windows. How can I print directally a web page like 'mypage.aspx' using javascript window.print method without opening it as a popup window?
Also the condition is 'I dont want to use any Activex for this'
<html>
<head>
<title>Print</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="all.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
</head>
<body>
<p>I get printed</p>
<form>
<input type="button" onclick="window.print()" value="Print" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Make sure all.css is on top and print.css at the bottom, it should work.
Um. Just use window.print(); directly on the page. By itself it does not open a new window (apart from the print properties window to set printing options).
Not sure if it works, but you may try to create invisible iframe, load page2.aspx in it and then print it.
You could just use a CSS print style sheet and avoid using javascript altogether -all the user has to do them is print the page. e.g.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
The simpliest solution is to load the content of that mypage.aspx to an iframe then on iframes onload event call the window.print.
<button onclick="printPage()">print</button>
<div id="printerDiv" style="display:none"></div>
<script>
function printPage()
{
var div = document.getElementById("printerDiv");
div.innerHTML = '<iframe src="mypage.aspx" onload="this.contentWindow.print();"></iframe>';
}
</script>
