Hello on my site this is what is happenning

Part 1 - This is what works and prints me output I like from <print> link in
body section

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ClickHereToPrint(){
try{
var oIframe = document.getElementById('ifrmPrint');
var oContent = document.getElementById('divToPrint').innerHTML;
var oDoc = (oIframe.contentWindow || oIframe.contentDocument);
if (oDoc.document) oDoc = oDoc.document;
oDoc.write("<html><head><title>title</title>");
oDoc.write("</head><body onload='this.focus(); this.print();'>");
oDoc.write(oContent + "</body></html>");
oDoc.close();
}
catch(e){
self.print();
}
}
</script>
</head>


<body>

<a onclick="ClickHereToPrint();">Print</a>

<iframe id='ifrmPrint' src='#' style="width:0px; height:0px;"></iframe>


<div id="divToPrint">

This seems to relate to your previous message "button from this code", with
no reference to it.

You still don't specify a URL or tell what you are actually trying to
accomplish.
<iframe id='ifrmPrint' src='#' style="width:0px;
height:0px;"></iframe>

It looks like you are trying to create problems, instead of solving any. You
can disprove this impression by providing a URL and an understandable
explanation of what you are trying to do (instead of fragments of code
supposed to solve an unspecified problem).

Someone will be better able to help if you give the url for a complete
working example without the button. However I will point out that you
are using javascript, and thus your print link will not work for
browsers that have script turned off. See http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
near the bottom of the page. At one time many turned their script off,
but perhaps only about 5% of visitors to the w3schools site now do.
This may or may not be typical of other sites. In some cases one can
use server side scripting, such as php, to avoid this problem. Also
you might use a no script path that gives text instructions for
printing if there is not script support.
