Printing Problems

[Jawahar Rajan]

All,
I am using a simple printer friendly page the opens up as
a new window.
I use a DIV TAG called "printReady" in the section I want
to print (Printer friendly) then in a javascript function
I do this

var printFriendly = document.getElementById("printReady")

var strHTML = printFriendly.innerHTML

I then open a new window with the Javascript and write the
HTML (mostly Text) to the new window.

var printWin = window.open("","printSpecial");
printWin.document.open();
printWin.document.write(html);
printWin.document.close();


This works fine, but if the page is to wide using
Landscape is fine, but in portrait mode it only prints one
page the cut off part is not printed on the second page.
Some times the page will print but the text is missing.
Only the table outlines print.

Any one experience this before or have any suggestions if
this can be overcome.

Thanks
Jawahar

Hi Jawahar,

I suggest posting to a browser group, client side scripting group, or
something along those lines. This group is about ASP, which is a
server-side programming technology, and has no control over print layouts.
