Hi,

Can someone please help me out with printing the contents of an IFrame via a javascript call in Safari/Chrome.

This works in firefox:

$('#' + id)[0].focus();
$('#' + id)[0].contentWindow.print();

this works in IE:

window.frames[id].focus();
window.frames[id].print();

But I can't get anything to work in Safari/Chrome.

Thanks

Andrew
