I checked out the ActiveX control called Meadroid. It seems that it only works with html files that are loaded into iframes and not actual documents. When I linked to my excel sheet it did not recognise it and all it gave me to print was a blank page (even though the excel appeared in iframe in the browser).
I have now given up with the idea of displaying the excel in an iframe. Instead I have created a button that when clicked will...

I am only going to be using IE - what sort of possible browser-specific solution is there?
By the way I tried to include a stylesheet within the iframe but setting the font size didn't change the output in any way either. I thought I would have to set the dimensions if it were possible of the "content" somehow because I am assuming that the iframe treats the excel sheet like it would an image and just displays the true size...Leave a comment:

When I check out Print Preview in Excel of the document, I can see that it is scaled down 54% to be printable on one page. Is their something equivalent that I can do to the document when it is loaded into the iframe?Leave a comment:

By the way, here is all the code - obviously fileName is the address of the excel file on the local machine:
[HTML]<% String fileName = request.getPara meter("fileName "); %>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function printExcel(){
window.excelFra me.focus();
window.excelFra me.print();
}
</script>
<HTML>

function printExcel(){
window.excelFra me.focus();
window.excelFra me.print();
}
The excel sheet prints but it prints the sheet our over 4 pages. If I print directly from the original file using excel, the sheet prints out...Leave a comment:

iframe and printing issues
Hi,
I have an excel spreadsheet that is displayed within an iframe.
I print the sheet displayed by using the function:
function printExcel(){
window.excelFra me.focus();
window.excelFra me.print();
}
This does the job BUT the sheet is printed out over 4 pages in a larger font than had I printed the page from excel itself. The original excel...
