trying to print a page in a different frame

My button to print a document is in one frame, but the target doc is in a
different one.

The button
=======
<input type="submit" name="btnPrint" value="Print Application" id="btnPrint"
class="Buttons" onClick="javascript:top.main.window.print();return false;"
/>

The frame page
===========
<frame name="header" src="submit_page.aspx" scrolling="no" noresize>
<frame name="main" src="application_xslt.aspx">

It does print, but not the page I want. It keeps printing the page where
the button is located. Thanks for your help in advance. I am trying to
print the "main" frame. Does it have anything to do with the fact that it
is an ASP.NET page?

re: trying to print a page in a different frame

in the main pages:


function PrintMain()
{
if (document.all)
document.body.focus(); //MSIE needs focus the the right frame first
window.print();
}


then call that from the other frame.

Thank you for your response, but exactly how do I do that? (I am a
javascript novice). Again, the frame where the button is called "header"
and the page I am trying to print is "main"
