Very sorry to post an off topic, but I can't refrain as I can't find a
Javascript group that look as good as this present group.
Do you forgive me if I tell that this questions comes from a servlet project
and that it's in line with former discussions about validation ?

So, to the point :
For client side data entry I developped a java applet that I use as an input
field in an html form, to be submitted to a servlet.
I did this because the user experience can be enhanced, like a combo box or
something more sophisticated, but I face some integration problem between
this applet and the other fields.

My form looks like
<form>
<input text1>
<applet1>
<input text2>
</form>

When I am on the text1 field and press tab, I jump to text2, where I would
like to jump to the applet.

I solved this problem by writing a piece of code for text1.onBlur.
But now when I am on the applet an press tab I want to go to text2, and I
couldn't find out how to do it.

Briefly what I did was :
- capture the tab key in the applet
- get the JSObject for the window
- get the JSObject for the document
- call a function on the document that shows an alert (it works) and call
text2.focus().

and then:
The cursor is still on the applet.

If somebody is interested I can give more info, like code bits ...

Thanks in advance,
Philippe

I don't think you can do this... at least not with JavaScript. It's the
nature of Windows (I'll assume that's your OS) to prompt before printing.
Also, if the user doesn't have Acrobat, the file extension won't be
recognized. Thirdly, the document needs to be opened before it is printed
(another "feature" of Windows).

You can print from JavaScript.... here's a print button for your page....

<input type="button" value="Print Page" onclick="window.print()">

...but it sounds like you are asking too much of current web technology to
do what you are asking.

HTH,
Steve

Hi, I have the following problem.


I want to set up a page with a list of PDF's and corresponding Check
Boxes.

The user can click in the multiple check boxes and then hit a print
button.

I want to then print all the pdf's which are checked without
prompting the user.

Any help on the javascript to do the printing would be great.

Thanx.
