Hi,

I'm attempting to print a RadGrid via JavaScript in Chrome. I'm getting one of two results:

A blank preview window appears and prints a blank page.
An error stating "Print preview failed" appears.

Everything works as intended in IE 11.

Here is my code. Thanks!

01.function RadButtonRCCPrint_ClientClick() {

02. var previewWnd = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);

03. var sh =

'<%= ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(RadGridRCC.GetType(), String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css", RadGridRCC.Skin)) %>'

;

04. var styleStr =

"<html><head><style>.RadGrid_Windows7 .rgRow td, .RadGrid_Windows7 .rgAltRow td { border: solid 1px #000000; }</style><link href='"

+ sh + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";

05. var htmlContent = styleStr + "<body>" + $find('<%= RadGridRCC.ClientID %>').get_element().outerHTML + "</body></html>";

06. previewWnd.document.open();

07. previewWnd.document.write(htmlContent);

08. previewWnd.document.close();

09. previewWnd.print();

10. previewWnd.close();

11.}

Hello Brian,

I have tested the approach demonstrated in the following Code Library and everything seems to work correctly in Chrome on my side:

Print RadGrid contents

Additionally, here is a simplified example with dummy data:

<telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript">

function printGrid() {

var previewWnd = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);

var sh = '<%= ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(RadGrid1.GetType(),String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css",RadGrid1.Skin)) %>';

var styleStr = "<html><head><link href = '" + sh + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";

var htmlcontent = styleStr + "<body>" + $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>').get_element().outerHTML + "</body></html>";

previewWnd.document.open();

previewWnd.document.write(htmlcontent);

previewWnd.document.close();

previewWnd.print();

previewWnd.close();

}

</script>

</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" AutoPostBack="false" Text="Print" OnClientClicked="printGrid"></telerik:RadButton>

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="RadGrid1" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">

</telerik:RadGrid>

And the code-behind:

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

{

DataTable table = new DataTable();

table.Columns.Add("field1", typeof(string));

table.Columns.Add("field2", typeof(string));

table.Columns.Add("field3", typeof(string));

table.Columns.Add("field4", typeof(string));

table.Columns.Add("field5", typeof(string));

table.Columns.Add("field6", typeof(string));

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)

{

table.Rows.Add("test", "test", "test", "test", "test", "test");

}

(sender as RadGrid).DataSource = table;

}

If the issue persists, please open a regular support ticket with a sample, runnable project attached, so we can test it locally and see what could cause the problem in your project.

Add setTimeout to call print():

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function PrintRadGrid() {

var previewWnd = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);

var sh =

'<%= ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(RadGrid1.GetType(), String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css", RadGrid1.Skin))%>'

;

var styleStr = "<html><head><link href = '" + sh + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";

var htmlcontent = styleStr + "<body>" + $find('<%= radGrid1.ClientID %>').get_element().outerHTML + "</body></html>";

previewWnd.document.open();

previewWnd.document.write(htmlcontent);

previewWnd.document.close();

setTimeout(function () {

previewWnd.print();

previewWnd.close();

}, 50);

return false;

}

</script>
