printing problem in frames using javascript

[meenakshia]

hi forum
i m facing a problem regarding printing withing the frames page
i have a main frame page. which has on the left the menu html page loaded and on the right the target content page.
when i try to open a page on the right and print two different pages using iframes it does not work ,
on the contrary when i load the page without frames it does the print job perfectly.i fail to understand why this is happening
i m posting the partial code as the main code is too long and is not relevant for this issue.
the following is the code
pls suggest me some way out

<script language="JavaScript">
 
function printPg(ifrmname){
            if(top.frames[ifrmname]){
                top.frames[ifrmname].focus();
                top.frames[ifrmname].print();
            }
        }
</script>
<td>
<iframe name="one" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" src="E:/anand/program/final/databaseos/data/custprint.htm"></iframe>
 
<iframe name="two" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" src="E:/anand/program/final/databaseos/data/factprint.htm"></iframe>
 
<a href="#" onclick="printPg('one');return false;">Print Customer Copy</a>
 
<a href="#" onclick="printPg('two');return false;">Print Factory Copy</a>
</td>

I haven't tested, but I don't think the iframes within a frame will be in the main page frames array. You could use JavaScript to make the print style sheet change to the selected iframe when a link is clicked.

hi
problem solved
i used a hit and trial method with success:)
top.frames[ifrmname]
i removed top as it was not refering to right frame and it worked:)
thanks anyways

So frames[ifrmname] worked? It should do.

Anyway, glad you've got it to work.
