    Query about window.print ...

    Hi there,
    I have a query regarding the window.print in javascript.
    Is there a way to execute window.print() and then when the printing
    finishes, display a prompt to the user if the printing is OK?

    Thanks in advance,
    June.

      not *really*. the closest way to achieve this I can think of is to add
      an alert to the page focus (after the user presses "print" in IE's print
      dialogue)...

      <script>
      var printed = false;
      var n = 0;
      function check_print()
      {
      if ( printed && n < 1 )
      {
      alert( 'So, how\'d that print work out for ya?' );
      n++;
      }
      }
      </script>
      ....
      <body onfocus="check_ print();">
      <a href="#" onclick="window .print();printe d=true;return false">Test
      Print</a>
      </body>

      it's not perfect.
