print from browser -
Hi all,
I have a slight problem with a javascript that enables me to print articles from a form.
I have the script working in both browsers, but I wanted to change the print button into an image - which I succeeded in with IE4 but for some reason it did not work in N4x.
The script can be found at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/other1.htm
The code I altered is:
<input type="Image" value="Print this Page" src="images/print.gif" border="0" width="130" height="20" name="Print" onClick="printit()">
...it used to be:
<input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()">
Yours, in anticipation that this anoying problem get sorted ASAP.
PS: I'm off on a two day holiday but will be back Sunday night - please Santa let their be a solution to this. 
Have a nice weekend!
JP

JP,
Try it this way:
<A HREF="javascript:printit()">
<img src="images/print.gif" border="0" width="130" height="20" name="Print"></A>
I think it will do the trick.

JP,
I have it working with one of my images ( the image is skewed because I didn't change the width/height values). Here is the url:

It may be the document.write statement, be sure the entire document.write(''); statement is on one line..it's hard to tell if it is or not because the forum may force a linebreak where you did not have one. Otherwise I didn't see anything that looked wrong with your code
