Safari print issue with javascript window.print()

javascript, printing, safari

Solution

After several times trying, below code works, but i don't know the reason, can anybody explain? Or this is a Safari Bug?

window.onload = function() {
    $('body').html('After change');
    setTimeout(window.print, 1000);
};

Problem

I am having an issue with print on Safari. My System is Windows 7, and this function works fine in all other browsers except Safari. Here is the situation: ``` window.onload = function(){ console.log('before print'); window.print(); } ``` It won't output the log in console panel, but the print page will appear first, after i choose cancel in print page, the log will be output. Does any body came up with this issue? Any help will be appreciated. Updated Here is the situation i have: We need to print a page whose content can be changed by user by checking and unchecking check box, and only the content part of this page should be printed, so we create a new page that only contains the content for printing. In this page, we need to hide the unnecessary content that is not selected by user, so we need to do some DOM operation before `window.print()` get called. The `console.log()` is just an example code for observing. I tried to add an `<div id='test'>Test HTML</div>` in test HTML and add ``` var test = document.getElementById('test'); test.style.background = 'yellow'; ``` before `window.print();`, it shows the same result in my Safari browser, the 'Test HTML' will not turn to yellow until i click cancel button in print panel, so it's not just the `console.log` issue. Updated I am using Safari 5.1.7(7534.57.2) on Windows 7
