Java error in XP but not W2k.

Hello,
I use a link to open a pop up window. On load the window opens the print
option then after it prints the window closes. It works fine in Windows 2K but
on our XP machines the pop-up opens and closes without ever opening the print
window. Here's the line of code:

<body onLoad="Javascript:window.print(); setTimeout(window.close, 100);">

Any Clue?????

Thanks,
Gary

Don't do it.

It'll fail on IE5x/Mac....

<body onload="if(window.print){window.print();
setTimeout('window.close()', 100)} else {alert('Select \"PRINT\" from
your file menu')};">

Note single quotes and function operator "()" in setTimeout arguments.
I would set time out a little higher, too. 1e5 (10 seconds) perhaps?
setTimeout('window.close()', 1e5)

The site is a private intranet site and all users run IE 6. No Netscape, Ie5 or Mac users.
