Hi Friends,

I am having a problem with javascript in safari 5.1.1.
i am using javascript code to print a popup page . it is working fine in all browsers but it is not working properly in safari 5.1.1(below Safari 5.1.1 it is working). The problem is it is not showing the content of the popup in safari 5.1.1 where as it is showing in other browsers.
Please help me. below is the code.

<html >
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function Print() {

var printcontent = "";
printcontent="<body bgcolor=blue>Hello</body>";
var winprint = window.open('', '', 'left=0,top=0,width=950,height=600,toolbar=0,scrol lbars=1,status=0,resizable=1');
winprint.document.open();
winprint.document.write(printcontent);
winprint.document.close();
winprint.focus();
winprint.print();
winprint.close();

}
</script>
</head>
<body >
<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="javascript:Print();" />
</body>
</html>

Try it when writing a valid full page, not just the portion you're currently doing.

I was having the same problem but figured out a fix. There seems to be a timing problem with Safari 5.1. The solution is to add a setTimeout function to call the winprint.print() and winprint.close() functions. Here is what I did that works perfectly. Make sure you declare the winprint variable outside the function so it is available globally to other functions.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var winprint;

function Print() {
var printcontent = "";
printcontent="<body bgcolor=blue>Hello</body>";
var winprint = window.open('', '', 'left=0,top=0,width=950,height=600,toolbar=0,scrol lbars=1,status=0,resizable=1');
winprint.document.open();
winprint.document.write(printcontent);
var shortpause=setTimeout("printme()",500);
}
function (printme) {
winprint.print();
winprint.close();
}
</script>

The timeout is really only necessary for Safari but in the above example it will provide a short pause to all browsers. In my real world code I use jQuery to test for the browser and if it is Safari I call this function.
