While we are on the topic of printing with javascript, I got a bug report
today about a print function not working on Macs. So far as I can tell, the
JavaScript window.print() function causes an error in IE on Macs, and does
nothing at all in Netscape on Macs.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a workaround/fix?
