How do you print from a popup window in javascript?

问题


I have a .Net application that dynamically creates a small HTML page and pops it up in a new window using the javascript document.open method. Everything with that functionality is working fine.

Now I want to add a button to the HTML page that prints the page. I have tried using the following code to no avail:

<a href='print.html' onClick='window.print();return false;'>
<img src='images/printer.png' height='32px' width='32px'></a>

When the button is clicked in the popup window, nothing happens. But when the source code of of this page is saved and loaded in a browser as a separate page, the print button works perfectly. So it would appear that the problem is caused by the fact that the code is in a popup window. [The problem now appears to be that the code in written to the popup window after it is opened.] Does anyone know a way to fix this problem or any alternatives?

EDIT:

Other method that I have tried with the same results:

<input type='button' onclick='window.print()' value='Print' />

and

<a href='javascript:window.print()'>
<img src='images/printer.png' height='32px' width='32px'></a>

EDIT AGAIN:

The above code works in Firefox, but not in IE7. Any ideas on a work around for IE?

EDIT YET AGAIN:

Here is a test case using the code that npup posted below. Instead of the code for the popup window living in a separate html file, I am opening a blank url and then writing the code to it. This step appears to be what is causing the problem.

<html>
<head>
    <title>main</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>
        Pop & print</h1>
    <button onclick="pop();">
        Pop</button>

    <script type="text/javascript">
      var POP;
      function pop() {
          var newWin = window.open('', 'thePopup', 'width=350,height=350');
        newWin.document.write("<html><head><title>popup</title></head><body><h1>Pop</h1>" +
            "<p>Print me</p><a href='print.html' onclick='window.print();return false;'>" +
            "<img src='images/printer.png' height='32px' width='32px'></a></body></html>");
      }
    </script>

</body>
</html>

Here is a solution that worked for me:

newWin.document.write( newhtml );
newWin.window.location.reload();    // this is the secret ingredient
newWin.focus();                     // not sure if this line is necessary
newWin.print();

I'm not 100% sure why this works but I think it has to do with one of the following: (1) an IE security issue, (2) a scope issue (i.e. after creating a new document, IE is confused about which document to print), or (3) a timing issue - the document is not ready to 'accept' a print command yet. In any case, after the reload the print dialogue appears without a problem.

It might be because you are doing a return false in the onclick event of the anchor tag.

Try this:

<input type="button" onclick="window.print()" value="Print" />

You can try:

<input type="button" onclick="self.print()" value="Print" />

or:

<input type="button" onclick="window.focus();window.print()" value="Print" />

But this might not work in MSIE due to restrictions in Cross-Frame Scripting. The best way to do this, I think, is to put the print button on the main window.

<script language="javascript">
    var winref = window.open('print.html','windowName','width=400,height=400');
</script>

<form>
    <input type="button" value="Print Popup" onclick="if (window.print) winref.print()">
</form>

There must be something more to it than the code shown. I think it works fine (been testing some now).

Here's a miniscule test case. Try it in your setup and see what happens! My checking was under Windows Vista, IE7 and IE8.

main.html:

<html>
    <head>
    <title>main</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <h1>Pop & print</h1>
    <button onclick="pop();">Pop</button>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var POP;
      function pop() {
        POP = window.open('popup.html', 'thePopup', 'width=350,height=350');
      }
    </script>

    </body>
  </html>

popup.html:

<html>
    <head>
    <title>popup</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <h1>Pop</h1>
    <p>Print me</p>
    <a href="print.html" onclick="window.print();return false;">
        <img src="images/printer.png" height="32px" width="32px">
    </a>

    </body>
  </html>

I have solved the problem by creating a blank HTML page with the standard HTML markup. I then added the content by creating a new DOM element and editing the innerHTML. The resulting code is the same as in the example, simply replacing the newWin.document.write command with the following:

var newDiv = newWin.document.createElement( 'div' );
newDiv.innerHTML = "<h1>Pop</h1>" +
        "<p>Print me</p><a href='print.html' onclick='window.print();return false;'>" +
        "<img src='images/printer.png' height='32px' width='32px'></a>"
newWin.document.body.appendChild(newDiv);

While the issue has been resolved, I am honestly not sure what was the exact cause of the problem. If anyone has any ideas, I would be glad to hear them.




回答6:


You forgot the:

newWin.document.close();

Document must be closed before msie can print it.

This works in Chrome:

  <body ><img  src="image.jpg" alt="" style="display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%;">

            <script type="text/javascript">
                window.onload = function() {
                    window.print();
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        window.close();
                    }, 1);
                };
            </script>
    </body>

If you want to print what's in the window you opened from, i suggest you use

window.opener.print();

in the popup.

I wanted to create a printer friendly version of a page that then automatically printed, this is what I came up with, seems to work great for me!

 function printPage(){
  var w = window.open();

  var headers =  $("#headers").html();
  var field= $("#field1").html();
  var field2= $("#field2").html();

  var html = "<!DOCTYPE HTML>";
    html += '<html lang="en-us">';
    html += '<head><style></style></head>';
    html += "<body>";

    //check to see if they are null so "undefined" doesnt print on the page. <br>s optional, just to give space
    //This allows you to reuse this on lots of pages with the same template
    if(headers != null) html += headers + "<br/><br/>";
    if(field != null) html += field + "<br/><br/>";
    if(field2 != null) html += field2 + "<br/><br/>";

    html += "</body>";
    w.document.write(html);
    w.window.print();
    w.document.close();
};
