Printing whole page in a web window

[rias1984]

Hi,

I hav got a page to be printed beyond the viewable window of the contents int he page.
on using window.print() , it just prints the viewable scrren on the window and not the whole contents on the page.i need to do it on click of a print button.The web page is bound by a X- beam framework .

Thanks in advance for ur help

Bye

Since the Javascript print function doesn't actually print the page, but rather just opens the print dialogue, it is your page which will be the problem. Design a printer-friendly page getting rid of extra items which should not appear on the printed page and it should print out fine. You can also use CSS for page breaks, etc.

Hi,
Thanx for the reply

The problem over here is that the page is being generated by Framework and hence the framework is responsible for handling the page .The page is generated dynamically according to the data input and hence we hav been asked to put the whole content within the window and access to whole data is done through scrollbars within the page .Is there any other possible solution to fix this either by a Javascript or by Java side? The framework used here is Xbeam and its a Private IPR framework .

Thanx in advance

Rias

I assume these scrollbars are not the browser scrollbars but actually contained within the page (probably in a div or iframe. Is there no way you can break out of the scrollbars and display the data straight onto the browser using the browser scrollbars to view all the data? I'm not familiar with the Xbeam framework. Is it possible to display some sample code output?

yes its actually within the page and moreover it is not possible to breakout of it and display thru browser window.maximum we can redirect the contents to other page but still the same page will be under the framework control and hence the same problem will be faced.
