Print Preview Javascript Frames!!

jajalc · #1 08-22-05, 08:42 PM

Hi all,

I m stuck with this frame issue from last 2 days...

All i want is to do a print preview in my page for the top frame only..

We have 3 frames : Body, Messages,Recent

Our site is an intranet site and will only use MSIE

here is my code for print preview.

<script language=javascript>
function printpr()
{
alert(document.getElementById('Body').name);
var PROMPT = 1; var OLECMDID=7; // 2 DONTPROMPTUSER
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
//over here instead of previewing all the 3 frames i just want to preview only the body frame. //so is it possible to get the Body.InsertAjacentHTML in the frame or do so trick to just preview BODY frame only?
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(OLECMDID, PROMPT);
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = '';
}

Plz. Help

cheers
C

</SCRIPT>

There's nothing you can change in that script.
All it does is to find the frame named "Body", create an <object> tag, and puts it in the frame. The contents of the <object> tag takes care of ecerything after that. I have no clue to what it does or how it does it.

Body.insertAdjacentHTML only takes the string in WebBrowser and puts it in the Body frame and tells the browser to parse it as HTML. No changes there could change what the <object> does once it's on the page...

You actually have to pass what you want printed to the body of a hidden page, declare the object on that page and then tel it to print.

I guess you were searching for something like this:
document.frames("Body").document.body.insertAdjace ntHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);

If only... this would work & i assume it would have in previous versions of IE however it exposes a security threat. Don't worry mate you are not the only one out there searching for these answers... how do you think I found this thread.

Glad to help if i did

Try this & you will see what I mean about the error

<HTML><HEAD>
<script language=javascript>
function Init()
{
EditFrame.document.designMode = "On";
}
function printpr()
{
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" style="WIDTH: 0%; HEIGHT: 0%" CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.frames("EditFrame").document.body.insertA djacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
document.frames("EditFrame").WebBrowser1.ExecWB(7, 1);
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY name="hello" onload="Init()">
<input type=button value="PRINT" name="Print" onClick=printpr()>
<iframe id="EditFrame" style="WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 92%"></iframe>
</BODY></HTML>
