title: Print function in Chrome no longer working
body: <p>Our website has a feature whereby a member profile can be printed. The way that it works is that a javascript function is attached to a button via an onsubmit. The javascript function uses a window.open to reopen the page in a special mode, which redisplays a printer-friendly version of the page.</p>
  
  <p>This functionality has been in place since about 2008, and works in all browsers. Except about a week or so ago it has stopped working in Chrome. With Chrome, what happens is that the opened window does open, but then another blank window briefly opens, and then the all of them close.</p>
  
  <p>In searching for discussion of this issue I was unable to find the exact issue, but did find something that said that a "return false" should be added to the onsubmit. I tried adding that but it did not help.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what the onsubmit looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;button onclick="PrintEmailSubmit('print');"&gt;Print Profile&lt;/button&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is what the code that opens the window looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>window.open('print-email-profile.php?mode=' + mode,'','width=' + width + ',height=' + height + ',scrollbars=yes,location=0,menubar=1,status=0,toolbar=0')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While it should not be necessary to see, here is the entire function PrintEmailSubmit():</p>
  
  <pre><code>/*
   *  called by view-profile.php
   */
  function PrintEmailSubmit(mode)
  {
      var width;
      var height;
      switch(mode)
      {
          case 'print':
              width = 850;
              height = 1000;
              break;
  
          case 'email':
              width = 400;
              height = 120;
              break;
  
          default:
              alert('Error: invalid calling sequence -- should not happen!');
              exit;
      }
      window.open('print-email-profile.php?mode=' + mode,'','width=' + width + ',height=' + height + ',scrollbars=yes,location=0,menubar=1,status=0,toolbar=0');
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And finally, what makes this work is that the special version of the page has the following added to the body tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;body onload="window.print();window.close();"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As stated above, the function continues to work in IE and Firefox. Just Chrome is having this issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
