Hello

Thanks for your reply but can you please be more specific.
My HTML document that has to be printed is placed into an Iframe that
is not visible (dimensions zero). For the printing I try to use the
following Javascript function:
{
document.nameof iframe.focus();
document.nameof iframe.print();
}
but this does not work.
If I am totally wrong please give me more details about your method.
