  hi there,
  

  
  actualy i was wondering how to do a command that can make the current (web page displayed) to be printed???
  i've seen in many web sites... the use <form> i mean buttons to do that but i dont want buttons..... just a simple text.......
  

  
  

  Code:

  
  <a onClick="document.Print ">click here (only once) to print</a>
  

  
  

  
  the thing is i dont know the command in red is valid or not.. coz its not  working!... but when i try using
  alert('Hello')  it displays the alert box......
  

  
  can give me right code to print my document??
  

  
  thanks

  U Can always put the javascript into its own section like below, ovbiously i have it opening a window but just add the document.print instead of open(blah blah)
  

  
  

  Code:

  
  <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  <!--//
  function launch()
  {
  open('me.htm', 'tipofday', 'resizable=no, toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, width=300, height=300')
  }
  

  
  document.write('<p align="center"><A HREF="javascript:launch()">Click here now!</A>')
  //end hiding contents -->
  </script>
  

  
  

  
  come on people shoow me the easier way, i know there is

  yar, the problemo with your code was that you didn't have the open and close brackets, to show that it's a function with no other parameters passed to it, so nzjonboy's code rectifies that
  

  
  (completely pointless post but hey)
