Q560 How do I print the current web page whilst submitting a form?

Try the following which works in Netscape Navigator 4+ and Internet Explorer 5 beta 2+:

<form action="nextpage.htm" onSubmit="if (window.print) print()">
<input type="submit">
</form>

To adapt this to print on Internet Explorer take a look at the FAQ Can I print the current page using JavaScript on both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer?
