Question

I’m trying to print iframe content.

contentWindow.focus();
contentWindow.print();

This code works in IE, Firefox and Safari. But don’t work in Chrome and Opera. These browsers print entire page.

I tried to use this topic How do I print an IFrame from javascript in Safari/Chrome. But it didn’t help me.

Could someone help me?

This is a known bug in Opera. In addition to the above ideas for workarounds, you may want to play with something like this:

    var clone=document.documentElement.cloneNode(true)
    var win=window.open('about:blank');
    win.document.replaceChild(clone, win.document.documentElement);
    win.print();

I have not tested this but it should create a copy of the page in a popup window and print it, without having to load the content a second time from the server or loosing any DOM modifications you may want printed.
