[Javascript] Opening and printing PDF file from a new window

[Victor Papp]

With NN 4.5 No. It is (as far as I understand) doesn't forward the print command to the viewer.
However the document opens in the viewer.

  Does it work with Netscape?

    Yes,

    actually, I use the onclick event to execute these:

    1) open  a new window
    2) write HTML there using window.document.write
    3) flush (window.document.close)

    the HTML I write there contains

    onload="window.print()" in the body tag
    embed tag for the PDF file.

    It a bit messy using only javascript, so I used the capabilities of  ASP and simplified the process:

    1) using the < a > tag I link to the print.asp file.
    2) there, I build this mentioned above HTML code

    Hope this helps.
