Hi,

I am generating webhelp.

I was able to follow the instructions and create a custom button on the WebHelp Skin and to print the topic which is open. When I try to print it prints a page with the Toolbar of the skin but no contents..

Code used

if (top.frames[1].frames[1].frames[1] != null)
{
top.frames[1].frames[1].frames[1].focus(); window.print();
}
else
{
top.frames[1].frames[1].focus(); window.print();
}

Please help

Correct answer Roger_N

kewel -

It seems that IE tabs don't affect the frame references.

The script you were using instructed the browser to, if the toolbar frame exists, print it; otherwise, print the contents frame. Well, you always have the toolbar frame if you see the print button, so it makes no sense.

All you really need is the second print statement in your Inline Javascript:

function PrintIt()
{
top.frames[1].frames[1].focus(); window.print();
}

...and be sure to add PrintIt() to your onclick event.

Hi again

Have you tried the script in my Skinny on Skins file?

javascript:parent.frames[1].bsscright.focus();window.print();

Maybe that will help? Rick

Hi Kewal

Where did you get your script? Your description seems to imply that you are simply printing the frame the button is in. Also, what browser and version?

Cheers... Rick
