How To Create A JavaScript Print Link
Oftentimes a novice web user wont think to do something unless they are presented with the option to do so. I've found this to be true of many of the websites I make. I've added "email to a friend" functionality to customer websites and traffic seems to increase (albeit a fraction, but every bit helps).
Some websites are helped by adding a JavaScript "print" link. If you have a page with a coupon, for example, or a page that acts as a promotional piece, I recommend adding a "print" link. Users will get your subtle message and that could mean increased business / traffic.
The Code
Some quick JavaScript in the "href" attribute of the anchor will accomplish this goal.
<a href="javascript:window.print();">Print</a>
Be sure not to put the JavaScript in the onClick attribute of the anchor -- not everyone clicks a link.
