I got this fro the Javascript site. It worked ok on my computer, but does not work on the web. My original goal was to be able to "click" a button and print a hidden page; an order form. But I was told that that could not be done. This was suggested. And it worked ok on my computer, but not the web. Any thoughts????
I had it open to a small box in the corner ( non-obtrusive) then it should close upon clompletion of the print.

Thank you in advance!

you have to do:

setTimeout('window.close', 500)

you forgot the " ' "-'s

Thank you for spotting that mistake. But it did not improve the issue.

Is there a way to onprint.close ? instead of setTimeout? Because the page should load into the printer RAM upon clicking the button???

Thank you david
