This is driving me crazy.
I've been through several questions on here and other websites and cannot get this to work.
I have an iFrame within my parent page, containing a PDF document.
The iFrame (and PDF) is small, so the Adobe Reader navigation is hidden making it impractical to use the Print function within Adobe Reader.
So, I want a button (which has to be in the Parent frame) which can trigger Print
on the iFrame window.
print a PDF Iframe in firefox
How to print pdf in iframe using javascript in ie6?
and a few other have similar suggestions.
Using Firefox
document.getElementById('loyaltyBadge').focus();
document.getElementById('loyaltyBadge').contentWindow.print();
Does nothing
document.frames['loyaltyBadge'].focus();
document.frames['loyaltyBadge'].contentWindow.print();
Does nothing
document.frames.loyaltyBadge.focus();
document.frames.loyaltyBadge.contentWindow.print();
Returns document.frames is undefined
... as does:
document.loyaltyBadge.print();
Although this works in Chrome
I don't want to auto-print on load, but I need a print button.
All the lines above are being wrapped in:
$('#printFrame').click(function () { });
The button having an id of printFrame
and the frame itself has an ID (and name) of loyaltyBadge
