How do I print an IFrame from JavaScript in Safari/Chrome

How can I print 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.

Solution

  • Put a print function in the iframe and call it from the parent.

    iframe:

    function printMe() {
  window.print()
}

    parent:

    document.frame1.printMe()
