Browser compatability

[scarlet]

Hello
I have found a JavaScript that I would like to use but while it works in netscape, it doesn't work in MSExplorer. Can you tell me how to get it working in both browsers?

This is the script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function printPage() {
if (window.print) {
agree = confirm('This page contains sensitive information that \nwe recommend you print a copy of at this time. \n\nOK to print now?');
if (agree) window.print();
}
}
// End -->
</script>
Thanks for any help

I'd be very surprised if Netscape supports any form of printing from a javascript call - still, you never know...

This script opens the print confirmation window in Netscape. The user then clicks OK to actually print the document.

I just cannot find the command to open the print confirmation window in Explorer.

I am using it on pages that are print friendly (don't contain the banners, navigation, etc... just text) just trying to save ink for visitors to the site and thought I would add a little extra user friendliness to it.

Wouldnt it just be easier to skip a script, and just have them CTRL P or somethin. If you are havin that much trouble with cross browser compat then I would say until you find an easier way to do it...you might just do that for now...

Scarlet, which version of IE are you using (and which platform - Mac or PC)? I've seen window.print work in IE4, but on my IE5.5 it fails.

The only other thing I can think of is that the 'alert' is interrupting the script, and causing IE to fail to recognise the script.

Otherwise.... Check this script and see if you can adapt the code *shudders*
