Printing opener window (from popup)

[chimly]

opener.print();


Pretty straight forward... It's working in every browser except OS X Explorer.

Should I be using window.name perhaps? (Or something similar?)

Try focusing first to the opener.

opener.focus();
opener.print();

Try focusing first to the opener.


Didn't work.. although it's a nice touch, I think I'll leave it!


It could just be IE for os X that doesn't work. (No surprize.)

Try this:

in opener page:
function printIt(){
window.focus();
window.print();
}

in popup:
opener.printIt();

Save your efforts... a little more research informed me that a skillful AppleScript may be the only solution, due to IE mac's poor support for javascript.


Thanks anyway.

Yup, that's no good either. :( I'm giving up on non-standard methods and not support this browser. Most Mac users don't use IE anyways.
