Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a button that will printo out the current page.
What I want to do is have the user fill out a form (containing name, address, zip, etc). They will then click on a "print" button and it will print out the form data. Any ideas?
Thanks.

A quick search, and I found this:
All tyhe information you need is here, also gives a demo too: http://dynamicdrive....dex9/other1.htm
<script Language="Javascript">
/*

function printit(){
if (window.print) {
window.print();
} else {
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
}
}
</script>
<script Language="Javascript">
var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape");
var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (VERSION > 3) {
document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>');
}
</script>

cragllo has given a slightly complicated code...
It is broswer sensitive as it test your broswer compatibility before executing the codes...
Here's my version, simple and easy to understand...
This code loads faster as well...

That is simple 
And all this talk about printing a page has given me an idea, i will add an options bar to my site
You can also use this code instead of the form:

Interesting... All this stuff makes my head explode! Anyways, I like the window.print() function the best with JavaScript because it's so simple and you basically cannot forget it. But are you sure that you add the semi-colon ( at the end of a function in JavaScript?

how to print without asking the dialogue box.
Button To Print Current Web Page
I am using the window.Print(); option for printing the current page .
Here it is asking me which printer to print ect...
In a dialogue box.
I want to select the default printer of that machine and print it automatically.
