i'm kinda lost about what your trying to accomplish, if your trying to
print a page's content in a printer friendly form you can use CSS for that.

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 able to add the iframe to the page dynamically, either.
So this doesn't work with IE, but it does with Firefox:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintAPage() {
$('printer').src = 'someprintpage.html';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span onclick="PrintAPage()">Print a page</span>
<iframe id="printer" height="1" width="1" ></iframe>
</body>
</html>

As a side point, someprintpage.html would have this bit of code on it:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.focus();
window.print();
</script>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
Thanks for any help
Jim
