Does anyone know how to print a frame that has horizontal scroll bars?

I am using "parent.bottomFrame.focus();print()", because the Print button is in another frame, but it prints only a little part of the frame.

I tested it on IE6, Firefox and Safari and that code worked for me:

What isn't working? Do you get an error? Can we see the code/link to the page?

The "Print" button is in one frame(topFrame) and I want to print the other frame (bottomFrame). That's why it has to be something like I have done before:

onClick="parent.bottomFrame.focus();print()"

The topFrame contains a form with many boxes and some buttons (Search, Print and Reset). The input for the "Print" button is:

<input type="button" name="Print" value="Print" onClick="parent.bottomFrame.focus();print()">

As you said, I think the frame (bottomFrame) is too big to be printed in one page. But I would like to know how do I do to print the whole frame. It doesn't matter if it's gonna be in one or more pages.

Well, you don't need the focus(), then the print(), you can just target the frame and use print() like in my example. I tried with the focus and on some browsers it printed the wrong frame when added to a button.

How wide, in pixels, is the bottom frame? If it's bigger than 550px or so it can run off the printed page on some browsers. Can I see the actual page you're working on? Can you post it somewhere to see?

Another thing is to tweak your CSS for printing, adding some print-specific style sheets for that frame may help, but once again, I can't tell without seeing the page you're talking about.
