Right... I don't think I was clear. I can use javascript to pop the print dialog **IF** I have an html document. What I am opening in a new tab is a PDF document created with CFDocument. The page loaded is formatted like:
<cfdocument format="pdf"> <html> <body> ... content here ... </body> </html> </cfdocument> Putting a "window.print" function in the body tag doesn't carry over; when reader is loaded by the browser to render the PDF that it is receiving the PDF does not pop the print dialog. Is there a way of creating the pdf in such a way that it attempts to open its print dialog control when it first opens? - Matthew On Feb 24, 11:05 am, Alan Holden <[email protected]> wrote: > For an 'in your face' print dialog - the simple layout is like this: > > <html> > <head></head> > <body onload="window.print();"> > [content] > </body> > </html> > > IF you're running JQuery and you've already got some other 'onload' > stuff going on; you could add this in your existing SCRIPT block: > > $(document).ready(function() { > window.print(); > }); > > Al Holden -- tag/function ref: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en Get to Texas in Feb for OpenCFSummit http://www.opencfsummit.org/
