Javascript / Client Side Development :: The print window is not shown when the page contains an iframe in IE6 (XPsp2)


	The print window is not shown when the page contains an iframe in IE6 (XPsp2) I want to have the print dialog shown automatically after the the page is loaded, but when I try to call window.print() BEFORE the iframe, the print dialog is not shown at all. Anyone can help? Here is my code: <html> <head> <title>Auto print the page</title> </head> <body> **** The area in my control START *** text text <script type="text/javascript">window.print()</script> ** The area in my control END *** other content out of my control <iframe src=""></iframe> </body> </html> Please note: 1. For some reasons <body onload="window.print()"> is not allowed, it's out of my control 2. The print dialog should be shown without any other action e.g. click. So onclick="window.print()" is not allowed. 3. The entire page should be printed, so ExecWB(6,1) & execCommand("Print") are useless, because they only print the content BEFORE the calling of ExecWB(6,1) or execCommand("Print") 4. The <iframe> should not be removed or changed, it's out of my control. 5. It works in Firefox colinzhu said the following on 5/14/2007 11:11 AM: - Hide quoted text - > I want to have the print dialog shown automatically after the the page > is loaded, but when I try to call window.print() BEFORE the iframe, > the print dialog is not shown at all.

I fount a solution today, that is to use: window.setTimeOut("window.print()", 1) , I don't know why, but it just works.
