I’m using this nice printing script:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
     function PrintElem(elem) 
    { 
        Popup($(elem).text()); 
    } 
     function Popup(data)  
    { 
        var mywindow = window.open('', 'my div', 'height=400,width=600'); 
        mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>my div</title>'); 
        /*optional stylesheet*/ //mywindow.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" type="text/css" />'); 
        mywindow.document.write('</head><body >'); 
        mywindow.document.write(data); 
        mywindow.document.write('</body></html>'); 
        mywindow.document.close(); 
        mywindow.print(); 
        return true; 
    } 
</script> 
</head> 
<body>

It works fine except for two things:

  1. mywindow.print() is triggered before the page has completely loaded so you can’t see the material in the window to be printed (if you select “Print” it prints correctly though).
  2. The print dialog box opens on top of the window blocking the contents (presuming #1 is an easy fix). How can it positioned?

Thanks – TY

    try

    mywindow.document.body.onload = function(){
    mywindow.print();
};

    or

    setTimeout(function(){
    mywindow.print();
}, 100);

    hope this helps!
