HELP!!! differences in IE on different platforms

[rahenkamp]

I am using the code below to open a printer friendly version of the screen the user is looking at. Works fine on a Mac with IE v 5.2 but on a Win2K box with IE v 6.0 the new printer friendly window does open correctly but the parent window redisplays the following [object] . This does not happen of the Mac version. My question is WHY does it happen and what do I do to correct it so everyone sees the same thing.

TIA

Dan Rahenkamp

It's the Win2k version that is behaving correctly. And if you use the following you will find that your page will work even for the 10% of users that do not use JavaScript.

<a href="display_printer_Faculty.asp<%=strTeamName%><%=strGradeLevel%>" onclick=" window.open(this.href, 'printer_friendly', 'menubar,scrollbars,resizable,width=640,height=390'); return false"><img src="<%=strGraphicPath%>print.jpg" width="68" height="20" align="absmiddle" border="0" alt="Printer Friendly Version"></a>

Thanks Charles... The behaviors are now the same.... One other question. The code you suggested does not open a new window but reloads in the parent window. Just how would I make the same behavior happen in a new window created by the script? I am assuming that it is in the this.href section of the script but my Java skills are new....

THANKS!!!

What I gave you should do the trick. Can you post the URL?.

There ya go...

When I click print the new page appears in the parent window and does not open a child window....

You've followed my example a bit too closely. When you cut and pasted the soft returns became hard ones. Get rid of the hard return before the second ' character.

Thanks that worked and I have learned something to boot!!!
