window.form.submit

[Sten Larsson]

Hi All !

I have to code below - works great in IE and Opera, but does not work
at all in Firefox / Netscape. Any ideas?

The problem is that nothing happens when clicking printer friendly.

Thanks!

....
function onPrint()
{
window.printForm.submit();
}
....
<td>
<a href="#" onClick="onPrint(); return false;">printer friendly</a>
</td>
...
<form name="printForm" ction="/xasp?print=on" method=post>
...
<input type="hidden" name="TestField" value="dummy">
<input type="hidden" name="Date" value="">
...
</form>
...

You can't access an element using its name or id as a global variable.
Opera only allows it to be compatible with IE. Reference the form properly:

document.forms['formName']
The problem is that nothing happens when clicking printer friendly.

Nothing will happen with Javascript disabled, either. If you want to make
something "printer friendly", write a print stylesheet that hides the
superfluous parts of the page. Don't maintain multiple versions of a page.

Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.

Check the JavaScript console of Firefox/Netscape and you will see what
happens, your script causes an error.

You need
document.forms.printForm.submit();
<a href="#" onClick="onPrint(); return false;">printer friendly</a>
</td>
...
<form name="printForm" ction="/xasp?print=on" method=post>
