Got a small problem that I am at a loss to figure out how to get it working.
I got a perfectly good call to print function that elminates some surrounding headers/footers to make my data printer friendly....works great.
<script language="JavaScript">
var gAutoPrint = true; // Tells whether to automatically call the print function
function printSpecial()
{
if (document.getElementById != null)
{
var html = '<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n';
if (document.getElementsByTagName != null)
{
var headTags = document.getElementsByTagName("head");
if (headTags.length > 0)
html += headTags[0].innerHTML;
}
html += '\n</HE>\n<BODY>\n';
var printReadyElem = document.getElementById("BotTable");
if (printReadyElem != null)
{
html += printReadyElem.innerHTML;
}
else
{
alert("Could not find the printReady function");
return;
}
html += '\n</BO>\n</HT>';
var printWin = window.open("","printSpecial");
printWin.document.open();
printWin.document.write(html);
printWin.document.close();
if (gAutoPrint)
printWin.print();
}
else
{
alert("The print ready feature is only available if you are using an browser. Please update your browswer.");
}
}
</script>
Except now I need to somehow get a timestamping function to display on the printed page. I cannot have it display on the webpage but can display on the secondary (print preview) page. Is there any way to incorporate a time/date function within my provided javascript to put a small timestamp on the printed page?
