allowing visitor to print an iframe page containing their orders. via a print button in another wind

[Guest]

I have a conformation page thanking the visitor for their order and wish to
allow them to print it via a print button also on the conformation page.
the details to print are contained in an iframe in the previous window shown
behind the newly opened conformation window.
how can I achieve this ?

thank you.

Cheers,

Iframes are just another window contained within the window.frames array therefore you can just do a print on the window for the
iFrame

window.frames[1].print();

hi,

I have typed in what you gave but nothing happens.

I have looked on the net and found this

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
if (window.print) {
document.write('<form>If you wish to Print your order click '
+ '<input type=button name=print value="Print order" '
+ 'onClick="javascriptarent.showorderpageiframe.print();"></form>');
}
// End -->
</script>

and prints the page that has the print button, not the page that I think I
have asked it to print, being 'showorderpageiframe'

Cheers,

window.frames[1].print();
