Printing data in an html form

[sweetleaf]

Hi there!

I have an html page with a table which i want users to have the ability to print at the click of a button.
Is this at all possible?

Thanks,
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Tell your users to mark the table use their borwser's print function.

That's no answer. I believe that what sweetleaf wants is a way to print JUST the table from the html page. Even if s/he wants to print the whole page, what's wrong with

<input type=button value=&quot;print&quot; onClick=&quot;window.print()&quot;>

Oh yes, it works. I've used it before. The one thing I don't like is that the button will also print, unless you use some javascript to create an onBeforePrint function to hide the button before printing, and I think that's an IE-only solution. The other options are to use a link to print, like this:

<a href=&quot;javascript:window.print()&quot;>Click here to print this page</a>

or to open up a new (popup) window, write the information to that window using windowname.document.writeln("...&quot, and then print that window using windowname.print().

Couldnt you just hide it by putting the button in a span,
and then setting innerHTMl = ''; ??? BobbaFet

Everyone has a right to my opinion.

BobbaFet: that might work too. I've never bothered with using innerHTML yet. Would that work in both NS and IE?
