Unable to print an iframe on IE using JavaScript,

Question

I have the following JavaScript code:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a#print_button').click(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();

        var print_url = 'print.html';

        if ($('#print_page').length == 0) {
            $("body").append('<iframe id="print_page" name="print_page" src=' + print_url + ' style="display: none; @media print { display: block; }"></iframe>');
        } else {
            $('#print_page').attr("src", print_quote_url);
        }

        $('#print_page').on("load", function() {
            frames["print_page"].focus();
            frames["print_page"].print();
        });
    });
});

It works on Chrome and Firefox. But when I click on the button on IE, it prints the parent page, instead of printing the iframe.
