Menu
I have to print out a div which I'm doing in the following way:
function PrintElem(elem)
{
Popup(elem.html());
}
function Popup(data)
{
var mywindow = window.open('', 'to print', 'height=600,width=800');
mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title></title>');
mywindow.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/mycss.css" type="text/css" />');
mywindow.document.write('</head><body >');
mywindow.document.write(data);
mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');
mywindow.print();
mywindow.close();
return true;
}
My problem is that on IE, when I click the button nothing happens. However, on Chrome and Firefox it works. What can I do to print it out correctly?
EDIT: I'm call print in the following way:
$('#print_it').click(function(){
var element = $('#itinerario');
PrintElem(element);
});
This is where print_it is the id of the button.
Another thing I've seen is that after a period of time, Chrome along with other browsers tells me that the page isn't responding. Why is this happening?

You MUST do a mywindow.document.close() and you may NOT have a space in the window name
I assume you invoke PrintElem from onclick of something - if that something is a link, you need to return false in the onclick handler!
Here is how I would do it if I had to
function PrintElem(elem) {
Popup($(elem).html());
}
function Popup(data)
{
var mywindow = window.open('', 'to_print', 'height=600,width=800');
var html = '<html><head><title></title>'+
'<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/mycss.css" type="text/css" />'+
'</head><body onload="window.focus(); window.print(); window.close()">'+
data+
'</body></html>';
mywindow.document.write(html);
mywindow.document.close();
return true;
}
but I am not sure whether or not the window.close() will interfere with the printing
And why not
$(function() {
$('#print_it').click(function(){
popup($('#itinerario').html());
});
});
I see you've solved it using mplungjan's note about no spaces in the window name, but an alternative would be to use @media print css styles, crudely:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
@media print {
* {
visibility: hidden;
}
.printMe {
visibility: visible;
}
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.4.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Button1").click(function () {
var divToPrint = $("#div3");
$(divToPrint).addClass("printMe");
window.print();
$(divToPrint).removeClass("printMe");
}
)
}
);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="div1">fhgjghajghhjagjdag</div>
<div id="div2">ytiyrtiyertuyeyiyt</div>
<div id="div3">We want to print this one.</div>
<div id="div4">vnbcxbvmzxbvc,xbv</div>
<div id="buttonContainer">
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
