Print Button on Drop-Down window

Question

Hello,
our internal customer wants to be able to print topics from a
drop-down window.
This worked well with "RoboHelp for Word" and WinHelp output,
but I fail to add the same functionality in a "Robohelp for HTML"
(R 7) project with HTML Help (CHM) output. In fact the
functionality seems to work (Topic is printed correctly), but in
the window I immediately get a browser message that the content
cannot be diplayed (topic disappears). The same is true for the
"Copy" function (content is copied to windows clipboard but error
message appears in the window). For the "Close" function the HTML
help is minimized to the bottom tray. I added the following snippet
<table x-use-null-cells style="background-color: #808080;
width: 100%; height: 50px; border-style: 0;"
height=50 width=100% bgcolor=#808080>
<tr><td><implicit_p>
<input type=submit name=button1 value=Print
onClick="window.print();">
<input type=submit name=button3 value=Copy
onClick="javascript:CopiedTxt =
ocument.body.createTextRange();CopiedTxt.execCommand('Copy')">
<input type=submit name=button2 value=Close
onClick="window.blur()">
</td></tr>
</table>
What's wrong? Unfortunately I'm not fluent in Javascript :-(

Hi, Pete,
Thanks for answering.
> document.body.createTextRange();"
The 'd' got lost when I formatted the post the forum.
>onClick="hhctrl.Click()"
HHCTRL does not seem to be know object in my project.
The problem is not connected with the topic content. I
created a test project from scratch with just two topics and the
snippet in it: Same problem. The error page has the following
address (right click):
res://C:\WINNT\system32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#mk:@MSITStore:C:\Apps\Test\Test%20Buttons \TestSnippets\!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\TestSnippets.chm::/DropDown.htm?button2=Schlie%DFe n
It seems that the page name is confusing RoboHelp:
Schlie%DFen refers to the German "Schließen" which includes a
special character.
