Hi
I have used Bob's jQuery form print routine. I have simplified the code for my purpose and have attached a copy. I have commented out the window and document close options so that I can see the output.

My problem is that, while the print routine works fine on some web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox & Firefox Developer) (see attached) it will not for other browsers (Edge, Chrome or Opera). In the case of Edge, Chrome or Opera in some cases nothing is displayed. In others - Chrome for example blank pages are displayed. See attached

The form is accessible here

I am quite stuck. Any help???


Regards

Nick

Update: There could be some oddities there. Seems OK on Edge but suddenly two copies printed and format gone awry> 🙄

Hi Nick,

In Chrome the form loads into the Print Window correctly but the Print Command then shows empty pages. if you cancel the print then you can see the form and ctrl+p will print it correctly, I wonder if this is a timing problem of some kind? If you delay the print half a second does that make any difference?

Thanks Bob - there is a thought worth a try. Will give it a whirl.

Hmmm! The right track I think. But probably the wrong jQuery code.
If I make the print line read

    printWin.delay(500).print();

then the window does display but it never then comes out and executes the print.

Is that the correct way to add the delay? I tried adding it as just

    printWin.delay(500);

ahead of the print but no better.

Morning

I have been struggling with Bob's print routine - it works fine apart from the Chrome/Opera problems mentioned. But getting the correct css into place for each form has been a struggle.

This solved my problem.

It requires no specific references to my CSS - must pick it up from the page - and works fine with Chrome.

Worth a look.

Anyone have a solve to this? The print button used to work, but no longer appears, and throws the following on the page...

Hi mduda,
That is just about impossible to read - it looks like a listing of some of the JavaScript on the page.
