Trouble with "print page" link

[sheetrum]

I have created a confirmation page with confirmation feilds (3). I was
wondering if, being in "/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/" folder on the server is
keeping me from having people print the page for their records. I had this
working last year and I thought I had everything set up the same way as
before.

Each time I try to click on a link to print the page, I get an "Error on
Page" notice in the lower left corner of the browser window.

I have included the code for the problem section of the page below.

Suggest that you just let people print the page using the normal browser's print command.

....but that doesn't solve the problem!

But is a workable solution to the issue and maybe the only solution since the page is being process
by the FP Form handler, which give you no control to change the behavior.

Post a URL to your form page and the confirmation page (w/ the print script/link) in it

I was missing a script from the head of the page. I found it after
inspecting each page line by line. (I had a copy of the page that worked
last year.)

Here is what I was missing:

<script type="text/javascript">
function print_page(where){
var is_mac=(navigator.platform.indexOf("ac") != -1);
(document.all && is_mac)?
alert("Select \"Print\" from the menu") : where? where.window.print() :
window.print();
}
</script>

Now I can print with the click of a button, as desired!

Thanks Stefan,

But I found out that I was missing a script in the head of the document.
See my reply to Thomas for details.
