A Hyperlink that Prints - 8/23/2002 12:50:06
Hi, I had posted this in another forum, but it might be relevant to this one, so I' m reposting it...
Basically what I want to do is have a link that takes you to another page and automatically prints that page, at the same time.
The only thing slightly complicated is that the URL is a page variable derived from an asp script. I was told to use the LINK element in the HEAD, but I am having no luck... this is the code I have now... the LINK in the head, the ASP script that determines the URL, and the hyperlink:
<link rel=alternate media=print href=" ../Database/Print/externalprint.asp" >
<%
Dim PrintID, Form
Form = " External Power"
PrintID = Request.Form(" ID" )
If PrintID <> VBNULLString Then
URL = " ../Database/Print/externalprint.asp?ID="
URL = URL & PrintID
Else
Session(" DB" ) = Form
URL = " ../Database/Print/printerror.asp"
End If
%>
<a href=" <%=URL%>" ><img border=" 0" src=" ../Images/Sidebar/new(w).jpg" ></a>
I just cut out those 3 parts, they' re not actually in order like that. The link element is in the head section, and the rest is in the body.

Valarie,
On the page that you want to print, place the following code at the very top of the page:
<SCRIPT TYPE=" text/javascript" >
<!--
function printme()
{
window.print()
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Now locate the line in your code (on the page you want to print) that says:
<body>
Change it to say:
<body onload=" printme()" >
This will print the page automatically when the page loads in.
Good luck

Bobby,
I tested it at the beginning of the page. I guess it really doesn' t matter where you put it as long as it' s there.
Yes, an " If... then..." would allow Valarie the option of choosing whether to print the page or not. Good point!!!
The code I provided I prefer to connect to a button myself.
