Print iFrame with jQuery

Question

I have followed unlimited examples on how to print an iframe with jQuery, but no matter what I attempt, it doesn't work.

I have a page that has a "Print" button so users can print an iframe. So I followed examples and past experiences with jQuery and came up with this:

$('#printButton').click(function() {        
    window.frames["frameright"].focus();
    window.frames["frameright"].print();
});

Accordingly, my iframe is

<iframe seamless="seamless" id="frameright" name="frameright" src="url..."></iframe>

but when I click the "Print" button, nothing occurs.

Anyone kind enough to push me in the right direction?

@Sandeep: the src i'm using is not on the same domain. is that the problem? — pattmorter, Mar 27 '13 at 04:39
yes pattmorter that is the problem. when i tried changing the domain of the iframe its throwing a security exception and not allowing me to open the print dialogue even. — Sandeep, Mar 27 '13 at 05:46

No need to use jQuery for this.

Simply use:

function printiframe() {
        window.frames["frameright"].focus();
        window.frames["frameright"].print();
}

I didn't down vote, but I can tell you this doesn't work on any browser except Chrome. It's also exactly the answer the OP used. – user158017 Oct 02 '13 at 21:42
You copied your answer from exactly the same page where the question was asked LOL – Jhourlad Estrella Jun 12 '19 at 10:32
