Problem with DHTML print template in IE 6 version 6.0.2800
Hello All,
I'm having a strange problem wonder if anyone can help, I
have some code which display a dynamic page in a print
template which works fine on my machine running IE with
version 6.0.2600, but as soon as I move to a different
machine running a slightly newer version of the browser
it seems to display the print template but the content
isn't pulled in anymore. The code is as follows:
<HTML XMLNS:IE>
<HEAD>
<IMPORT NAMESPACE="IE" IMPLEMENTATION="#default">
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
..masterstyle
{
width:21cm;
height:29.7cm;
background:white;
border-left:1 solid black;
border-top:1 solid black;
border-right:4 solid black;
border-bottom:4 solid black;
margin:10px;
}
..contentstyle
{
width:17.0cm;
height:26.0cm;
margin:1.8cm;
background:white;
border:1 dashed gray;
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- data.php<?=$url_string?>
var lastPage = 1;
function addFirstPage() {
newHTML = "<IE:DEVICERECT ID='devicerect1'
MEDIA='print' CLASS='masterstyle'>";
newHTML += "<IE:LAYOUTRECT ID='layoutrect1'
CONTENTSRC='data.txt' ONLAYOUTCOMPLETE='onPageCo
NEXTRECT='layoutrect2' CLASS='contentstyle'/>";
newHTML += "</IE:DEVICERECT>";
devicecontainer.insertAdja
newHTML);
}
function onPageComplete() {
if (event.contentOverflow) {
document.all("layoutrect" +
lastPage).onlayoutcomplete
newHTML = "<IE:DEVICERECT ID='devicerect" +
(lastPage + 1) + "'MEDIA='print' CLASS='masterstyle'>";
newHTML += "<IE:LAYOUTRECT ID='layoutrect" +
(lastPage + 1) + "' ONLAYOUTCOMPLETE='onPageCo
NEXTRECT='layoutrect" + (lastPage + 2) + "'
CLASS='contentstyle'/>";
newHTML += "</IE:DEVICERECT>";
devicecontainer.insertAdja
newHTML);
lastPage++;
}
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY ONLOAD="addFirstPage()">
<DIV ID="devicecontainer">
<!-- Pages created on the fly go here. -->
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I think theres either a bug in the newer versions of IE
or something has changed.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello Vinny,
Sorry about the delay, I've had a look on their site can't find anything about IE6 service pack 1 bugs, but that doesn't mean its isn't there :). The site tends to be out of date has information on eariler browsers.
I have now narrowed the problem down to this command
CONTENTSRC='data.txt'
It's really annoying this problem as I had it all working,
Any further suggestion are appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi,
Are the paths the same on both machines? I'm presuming you are on an intranet. -- perhaps the paths/drives are different from one machine to the other.

Hi,
Well...
I don't think its a path problem as I had an earlier version of IE on my machine which the scripts worked with, then I upgraded to latest browser and then the contents stop being displayed.
