[SOLVED] Printing reports from HTML

Hi,


I have a compound report, where each report is contained in a separate <iframe> , with an IFRAME id. In the first IFRAME, there is the PRINT button. OnClick of the PRINT button, the print() js function is invoked with the different IFRAME ids passed as the parameters to it. In this case, one Print Window opens for each IFRAME id, ie., each report. Meaning, if there are 3 reports in the compound report, 3 different Print windows are opening.

There is a limitation that the reports cannot be placed within a single <iframe>.

PLease help.

Thanks,
RS.

Ravi,

This has been discussed many times. HTML is not a good print vehicle. If you want to print a compound report, create the report in the PDF Layout Painter which produces output suitable for printing.

If you have to report and print in HTML, I would suggest heavily styling and fixing the format of the report, if possible output in DHTML format.
