[OpenLayers-Users] Simple print tool

[David Alda Fernandez de Lezea]

Hello,

Maybe is not the best way of doing things, but I managed to get the vector data in a pop up window by doing:

//Take all the svg elements represented in the XHTML
svgList = document.getElementsByTagName("svg");

for (var i=0;i<=svgList.length-1;i++){
	importedNode = document.importNode(svgList[i], true);
	var atributo = importedNode.getAttribute("id").split("_")[0] + "_" + importedNode.getAttribute("id").split("_")[1];
	WinPrint.document.getElementById(atributo).appendChild(importedNode);
}

Whereas 'WinPrint' is the pop-up window that I'm going to print. This works perfect in FireFox.

My problems start when I try to do this in IE:

1) IE does not have the vector elements drawn with SVG, it uses VML, I guess. So instead the first line I've got something like:
	svgList = document.getElementsByTagName("group");
2) IE does not have importNode, so I implemented that method reusing some code I found on the internet, not a problem at all.
3) I tried to do same thing (same idea) I did with FF, but I can only get the raster images, not the vector images, and I get no error.

	for (var i=0;i<=svgList.length-1;i++){
		importedNode = WinPrint.document._importNode(svgList[i], true);
		var atributo = importedNode.getAttribute("id").split("_")[0] + "_" + importedNode.getAttribute("id").split("_")[1];
		WinPrint.document.getElementById(atributo).appendChild(aux);
	}


Can someone help me??

Thanks in advance.

Hi Carsten, 

Thanks for your response. You're right, I've tested printing the view_port without writing it in a popup, and the vector features are shown. The problem now is that I'm passsing to the print method the view_port div, but I get a printed image of all the document, but maybe that's more my task.

Just a question, is it possible to get the SVG objects of these features, and also print them in a window??

Thanks!!

Hi David,

from my point of view it is not possible to exchange vectors between windows as it would be a cross-site scripting.
One way could be to send the data to the server and request it again.
