    window.open / window.print

    This works in mozilla but I can't figure out why this won't work in
    IE.


    Say I have this html


    <html>
    header goes here
    header goes here
    header goes here
    header goes here
    header goes here


    <div id="thecontent" >
    html goes here
    tables etc
    html goes here
    html goes here
    html goes here
    <tag><tag><ta g>
    </div>

    <img src="url" onclick="printI t()">



    footer html goes here
    footer html goes here
    footer html goes here
    footer html goes here

    </html>


    the printIt function looks like this



    function printIt()
    {
    //grab the div in the html w/o the header & footer text
    content=documen t.getElementByI d('thecontent') ;

    //open a blank window
    w=window.open(' about:blank');

    //write content var html to the window
    w.document.writ e( content.innerHT ML );

    //write some javascript to make the newly opened window print itself.
    w.document.writ eln("<script>") ;
    w.document.writ eln("window.pri nt()");
    w.document.writ eln("</"+"script>" );
    }


    This will cause the print dialog to pop up in mozilla but doesnt
    prompt to print in IE.


    Is this a security issue?
