Thanks Jerod, I'll take a look at it.  In the mean time, I was able to get around IE by doing the following.  I use the hidden iframe to print in non-IE browsers.  For IE, I have a hidden anchor element with a target="_blank" attribute.  When the user clicks the button to print, I set the unique hr

I'm really not all that concerned with supporting IE on the mac.  I'm fine with telling mac users to ditch IE.  Google maps seems to do exactly what I want, but I haven't dissected it to see how they accomplished it... perhaps it's time for that :( On 5/9/06, Jaimz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: well,

Does anyone know of a cross browser solution to print a page/url after a user clicks a button?Currently, I'm using a "hidden" iframe to do my bidding.  But from my experience, IE requires that the iframe's src attribute be set initially to the url, in order for the page to open properly.  I wasn't
