Q1478 Is there a way using JavaScript to have a button on a page with frames print a specific frame?

In Internet Explorer 4, no - the print must be an activeX embedded in the page you need ot print and even then if you try to print from another frame, that other frame gets the focus and Internet Explorer 4 will try to print that instead.

In Netscape Navigator 4+ and Internet Explorer 5 you can simply do this:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" onClick="if (window.print) { top.otherframe.focus(); top.otherframe.print()}">
</FORM>
