Printing

[ledzep]

I would like to be able to print a selection of an HTML page rather than the whole page. is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks for any help

You would have to grab the desired elements and by some DHTML functionality and pass them to a new blank document, which you have opened in a new window or in a frame. Perhaps it's even possible to do this in a hidden <iframe>.
Then you only have call the window.print() method of that new document.

<style type="text/css" media="screen">

img { display:inline; }

</style>
<style type="text/css" media="print">

img { display:none; }

</style>


This simple example will declare that all IMG tags do not print. By extending this method, you can specify any area of the page to print or not print

Hi

Thanks guys for the help. I will look into these options

Sel='';
function PrintSelected() {
if (window.frames.length == 0){
Sel=document.getSelection();
} else {
for (iy=0;iy<window.frames.length;iy++){
Fm=window.frames[iy];
Sel=Sel+Fm.document.getSelection();
}
}
var Opts='width=100,height=100'; PS_Pop=window.open('','PrintSel',Opts);
PS_Pop.document.write(Sel);
PS_Pop.document.close();
this.window.focus();
PS_Time=setTimeout("PrintSelected2()",1000);
}
function PrintSelected2() {
PS_Pop.window.print();
PS_Time=setTimeout("PrintSelected3()",5000);
}
function PrintSelected3() {
PS_Pop.window.close();
}
