Browser safe way to open a new window sized to content (not a tab) and bring up the OS's print dialog?

开发者_运维技巧Normally I would use:

window.openDialog();

then in that Window's body element's onload event call

window.print();

But neither seem to be working in Google Chrome?!

What I am trying to do is simply create a print view of a page.

window.openDialog() is not cross-browser compatible. It's an extension from window.open(), which all major browsers support, so you should use that instead.

See:

• http://code.google.com/p/doctype/wiki/WindowOpenMethod

window.print() should work though.
