Printing problem with JAVASCRIPT + IE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys,

I have a strange problem with the .print() function in JAVASCRIPT; this works perfectly in non-IE browsers (such as Mozilla) but not with IE.

What happens is that when you click in a web page on the print-button to print out the data (DUH), a temporary window is created befor it actually gets printed. In Mozilla this works find; you click 'print', the temporary page opens and the printer dialog appears. After it has been printed, all dialogs (temporary + printdialog) are automatically closed. This is perfect.

In IE however, only the temporary screen is opened and nothing else happens. The screen is not closed also. Before I had that 'allow blocked content'-information bar and when I clicked again 'allow blocked content', the thing works in IE. Because it is not the intention that the user has to click multiple times just to print something out, I checked the 'Allow active content...' to get rid off the information bar but then nothing happens.

It really has something to do with IE, but I can not find the problem. I also updated my IE to v7 and the Sun JAVA platform but this didn't help at all.

Any help more then welcome!

Sun JAVA platform


One thing I would like to point out Java is not Javascript so the Sun Java Platform wouldn't have done any thing.

That information bar displays based on the users Security Settings.
