Printing a single layer.

Huey · 05-09-2007, 09:11 PM

On my site, there will be a number of pages that have a document to view and possibly to print. To make the pages more interesting, I would float the layer containing the document on a larger layer (in Dreamweaver

. On the larger background layer, I'd like to have a button that initiates printing of the document layer. Does this involve actionscripting? Suggestions Please. Thanks, Huey

<a id="PrintingLink1" href="javascript:parent.print();">print this page</a>

This will do it.

LOL!

Sorry, but it's the attribution that's funny ... some guy includes absolutely basic Javascript, straight out of the manual, and then claims that he "wrote" it. What people will do to claim credit, these days. It's funny/sad. Especially when this code does nothing more than the Print button/menu in any browser. Yeesh!

What's funny is "Nicolas" asking you to "Please keep these lines..." for a script that he didn't write! The example (which does work to print the page, but not the "layer", as is being asked for in this thread) is totally basic Javascript ... straight out of the manual. "Nicholas" has no right to ask for attribution.

That's what's funny. Like this would also be funny:

Code:

#Please keep these lines in if you copy the source code:
#Written by: mybigbrain
<html>
<head><title>Insert Title Here</title>
</head>
<body>
Text
</body>
</html>

Why should there be any attribution for that code? Because I typed it, that's why! LOL!
