Hello,

Thank you for reporting this.
I've just tested with latest version of Oxygen v19.0 and the built-in DITA Map WebHelp Classic transformation scenario. I can confirm that when you try to print a page from Internet Explorer 11 the page is empty.
I've registered in issue in our internal bug tracking system to be addressed.
In the meantime, to solve this issue you should open the "DIA_OT_DIR/plugins/com.oxygenxml.webhelp/oxygen-webhelp/resources/skins/desktop/toc_driver.js" file and replace the following function:

Code: Select all


function printFrame(id) {
var frm = document.getElementById(id).contentWindow;
frm.focus();// focus on contentWindow is needed on some ie versions
frm.print();
return false;
}
with the following one:

Code: Select all


function printFrame(id) {
var frm = document.getElementById(id).contentWindow;
frm.print();

return false;
}
Regards,
Bogdan
