Avoiding the print dialog using JavaScript

Hi All!!

Is there any way, I can avoid the Print Dialog from appearing multiple
times?

Let me be more clear.

I've say three files. file1.html, file2.html and file3.html.

there's a button Print in file1, on click of which, all the above
mentioned files are to be printed.
The method I'm using is, call the window.print(), the load the next
document, wcich does the same thing on load.

I'm using IE6 on Windows XP SP2. My clients will be using that.
Now, what's happening is that, on each call to window.print(), the
Print Dialog is displayed.
Is there any way to avoid it?

Otherwise, is there any way, I can get a handle to the Print Dialogs in
the subsequent print() commands so that, I can thru my JavaScript code,
"click the print button" and let the user think that the Dialog appears
only once?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Make all the files one file and print that one file.

I have created an order form that users javascript to create a new html document when the customers clicks the "print page" button. Once the new document has been created it then prints the document and closes it with the following code: <body onload="window.print(); window.close();"> This works correctly (or at least the way I expect it to work under MS Internet Explorer, but it cuases Netscape to "crash"

We are converting some reports from Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Reporting Services (SSRS) in an ASP 2.0 VB.Net web app. Crystal had a function called PrintToPrinter which was being used to programmatically print to a network printer that we specified in the code as soon as the user clicked a button on the screen. The printer dialog box did not appear. It was true one-click printing. I need to figure out how to do the same thing in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
