Using javascript to print images

Question

I would like to know if it\'s possible to use javascript to open a popup window containing an image, and at the same time have the print dialog show. Once someone clicks on

Answer 1

This code will open YOUR_IMAGE_URL in a popup window, show print dialog and close popup window after print.

var popup;

function closePrint () {
    if ( popup ) {
        popup.close();
    }
}

popup = window.open( YOUR_IMAGE_URL );
popup.onbeforeunload = closePrint;
popup.onafterprint = closePrint;
popup.focus(); // Required for IE
popup.print();
