MS Edge - window.print () is not a context context in the MS edge

Microsoft Edge does not process window.print () sequentially compared to other browsers.

Most browsers that call window.print () from an iframe on the page will only print the contents of this iframe. However, the entire document will always be printed in the region.

Was it intentional? Is there a workaround?

JSFiddle example.

iframe.html

... <body> <a href="#" onclick="window.print()">print iframe document</a> </body> ...

index.html

 ... <body> <a href="#" onclick="window.print()">print outer document</a> <iframe src="iframe.html"></iframe> </body> ...

A workaround does not yet exist.

We have a magic solution:

 parent.document.getElementsByName("pdfjs-frame")[0].contentWindow.document.execCommand("print", false, null);

... works in IE, EDGE, Chrome. The other has not yet been tested.

In IE too. You can fix it.

 window.top.document.getElementById("iframe-id").contentWindow.focus(); window.top.document.getElementById("iframe-id").contentWindow.print();

It is tested .;)
