How do I print an IFrame from javascript in Safari/Chrome

Question

Can someone please help me out with printing the contents of an IFrame via a javascript call in Safari/Chrome.

This works in firefox:

$('#' + id)[0].focus(); $('#' + id)[0].contentWindow.print(); 

this works in IE:

window.frames[id].focus(); window.frames[id].print(); 

But I can't get anything to work in Safari/Chrome.

Thanks

Andrew

Here is my complete, cross browser solution:

In the iframe page:

function printPage() { print(); } 

In the main page

function printIframe(id) {     var iframe = document.frames         ? document.frames[id]         : document.getElementById(id);     var ifWin = iframe.contentWindow || iframe;      iframe.focus();     ifWin.printPage();     return false; } 

Update: Many people seem to be having problems with this in versions of IE released since I had this problem. I do not have the time to re-investigate this right now, but, if you are stuck I suggest you read all the comments in this entire thread!
