Menu
I have a page that calls window.print(); at the bottom of the page. I have no way of accessing the code around window.print(); Its generated by the server and I can't touch it. Basically because of IE I need to execute a bit of javascript before the print dialog comes up but after the page has loaded. I can't do this because as soon as it gets to window.print(); the print dialog comes up. I still need to print but first I need to run myFunction() then I can window.print();
<html><head></head><body></body><!--no access from here--><script>window.print();</script></html>

You should be able to override it like so...
var _print = window.print;
window.print = function() {
alert("Hi!");
// do stuff
_print();
}
"Basically because of IE I need to..."
If you only need support for IE, see the onbeforeprint event.
window.onbeforeprint = function () {
// some code
}
The benefit here is that the code will not run in browsers that don't support onbeforeprint, which is pretty much every browser except IE.
