In this Popup-windows often is Button with the following code: <a href="javascript:window.print();window.close()">Print & Close</a><br> The Browser must print the content in the Popup window and close it. The Mozilla-Browser only closes the window but don't print the Content! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an HTML-File with the following content: <html><head><body> This is an error test page.<br> <a href="javascript:window.print();window.close()">Print & Close</a><br> </body></html> 2. Open the page with the mozilla Browser and click on "Print & Close". 3. The Windows-Printing Dialog is shown. Click Ok to print. Actual Results: The Window closes, but the printer isn't printing. Expected Results: Print the page and close the window.
Strang, for me your test prints the window, but does not close it (2002111308, win95)
to DOM0... is .print() supposed to be synchronous? I thought it was async?

The test case is too simple, window.close will not close the window if it is not opened with window.open. By creating the test window with window.open, the new window will close, but not print. It also hangs the browser :-( I hope to get time to attach a testcase later.
This is a known issue and possibly a dup.

Bug also persists in Mozilla 1.4 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624). Observed on a BBC web site which opens a pop-up window displaying radio listings suitable for print-out. The page performs "window.print();window.close();" in the onLoad event of body.
