Hi,

I use a HTMLView gadget to display some text:
Global HTMLView1:TGadget = CreateHTMLView:TGadget(272, 16, 577, 445, MakeMods:TGadget, Null)
HtmlViewRun:String(HTMLView1:TGadget, "document.write('<html><head><script language=\'Javascript1.2\'><!--function printpage() {window.print();}//--></script></head><body>Visit www.LogicZone.de</body></html>');")

However, when I send
HtmlViewRun:String(HTMLView1:TGadget, "javascript:printpage()")
I get an error for ...

Using the print command of the context menu works fine.
When I exclude the printpage function from the document and send window.print() instead nothing happens ...

Maybe somebody knows the error?

Thanks,

Andre

What OS are you on, and which versions of BlitzMax and the MaxGUI drivers do you have?

Hmm.. the issue seems to be with window.print.
As replacing it with an alert works fine..

edit: im testing this with IE6
edit2: oh, and the error you get is probably because of the <!-- and --> comments (removing them gets rid of the error atleast)

I start with BM 1.26 and just update to 1.28 under Windows XP / IE 6 ...
Grable is right, deleting <!-- and --> removes the error but didn't make it woking.
Also I tested alert('Test') and agree that it works fine.

However I need to print and no alert :-)

I looked over the source for the htmlview, and found out that you can do GadgetPrint(htmlview), havent seen that one before =)

Thanks grable it works fine with GadgetPrint.
As you can't do any page settings with window.print too it doesn't depend what of both to use...
