Script:     Print Page From Different Frame

Functions:  This simple script allows you to print the con-
            tent of one frame from a link in another frame.

Browsers:   All

Author:     etLux
============================================================

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put the following script in the <head>...</head> section of
your page.  The script belongs in the page where the print
link is located -- *not* in the page to be printed.

Step 1.

Step 2.

To create a print link, use the following general form:

<a href="javascript:framePrint('FRAMENAME');">
CLICK TO PRINT
</a>

Change FRAMENAME to the name of the frame (you can find
that in your frameset page code) that you wish to print.

FAQ:

You *can* use a single instance of the script for the pur-
pose of printing content from *different* frames... simply
use the appropriate FRAMENAME in each case.

Cautionary Note:

Many editors (FrontPage, i.e.) automatically insert base= in
frameset pages and target= in the frameset code.  It's a
common problem for this to cause JavaScript scripts to fail
on error.�If you run into an unaccountable error, check the
pages in the framesets, and remove the <base=etc.> tag
and also remove the target="whatever" from the framset page
code.
