onafterprint()

[Calum]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for some advice please. I'm using javascript to print a web page. I remove the unwanted parts (buttons ect) before printing, then restore them and redisplay the page after printing, but....

I get the following IE message when I use onafterprint.

"The page canot be refreshed without resending the information."

If I click retry or cancel it returns to the original page as expected. I want to be able to go straight from the original page to the print page and back to the original without seeing the refresh message.

This is the scripting I use.

<script language="JavaScript">

function removeElements(){
//store all elements with id=remove to "remove_el"
var remove_el=document.all.remove
//if there is only one element with id=remove
if (remove_el!=''&&remove_el.length==null)
remove_el.style.display='none'
else{
//for each element with id=remove
for (i=0;i<remove_el.length;i++)
remove_el[i].style.display='none'
}
}

function revertBack(){
setTimeout("window.location.reload()",50)
}

window.onbeforeprint=removeElements
window.onafterprint=revertBack

</script>

I'm using an Apache server with perl/CGI

Cheers
