"the page was replaced while you was trying ..."

Hi,

I tried to print a document with the window.print method, but with netscape
7, i always get the error:"the page was replaced while you was trying to
print. Try again". I see "mydoc.htm" and the window of the printer appearing
on screen, but when clicking on 'ok' i get the error and 3 sec later,
'mydoc.htm' disappears.

With IE 6, no problem.

See the code: (even with setTimeout 20.000 it doesn't work)
yy="toolbar=no "
function printdoc()
{
opl=window.open ("mydoc.htm","" ,yy)
opl.print()
setTimeout("opl .close()",3000)
}
document.getEle mentById("prt") .onclick=printd oc

Thanks for any help

You can't print a window that contains no document, which is what is happening.
The loading of "mydoc.htm" is not instantaneous, it takes time, but you are
giving it no time to load before calling window.print().

IE may wait for the document to load before involving print() on it, or you
could just be lucky.

At any rate, you have to wait for the document in the new window to finish
loading before you can call print() on it. The simplest and best way to do this
is to add <body onload="window. print();"> to "mydoc.htm" .

Hello, I am writing an ASP app which is giving me some very frustrating errors.

It (mostly, but not always) happens upon submitting a form, and a reload is generally successful in bringing the page up just fine. I have...
