problems with print script

[RuthL]

I have programmed a set of pages with two frames. I have created a
clickable link on one of the pages to facilitate the user printing just that
page. Here is the code:

<form><input type="button" value="Print"
onClick="parent .mainFrame.focu s();window.prin t()"></form>

This code works correctly on IE and Netscape on PCs; it opens the print
dialog box. But it does not work on any of the MAC browsers. Nothing
happens when my MAC friends click on the link.

Hi Ruth,
I have had the same problem trying to do something else. I ended up
having to put a print button on the page which linked to a printable
version of the page. An ugly solution, but one that works. If you find
out how to make it work on the MAC, let me know.
