Print Preview instead of print page

Hi guys,

Is there any way in which I can get the print preview of the page using a javascript.

I am using this function now.

Can I get the print preview of this instead of print?

Thanks

JavaScript just has window.print() out of the box so nope. You could look into ActiveX, but that limits you to IE only.

The browser provides print preview (as provided by the print architecture of the underlying OS). Why do you need something more than the browser provides?

If thats not possible then I have another question. When I open the content in the above code in a new window. It keeps loading.The loading of the page does not stop. When I try to go to print preview from the menu it hangs.
Sometimes it does not hang, when I go to print preview gives message "Please try after the page loads"
How can I correct this?

When the window is hanging are you removing the line myWin.document.close();? That line is important and does not close the browser window.

You should swap the print line too:

I tried retaining only this code to check if it finishes loading.

Still the same, keeps loading the page.

You did not close the document like I said had to be done in my last post.

You need the myWin.document.close() in there.

works thanks a lot.
