print preview code

[izzysanime]

Hi,

Another question, Im looking for code that will print only specific parts of the page.  maybe put the content into a div tag?

Thanks

create a print stylesheet which has something like

* {display:none}

#content {display:block;}

I tried using this

but how do you specify what gets printed?

examples are meant to point you in the right direction, not give you the answer.

Use what was written above

* {display: none}
#content {display: block}

if you have different parts that you want to print....  what's the logical step here?

I don't necessarily want the answer, but a little more direction.  what i have tried was giving the content i want printed a div id, but that does not work.  Is that what you meant? 

Thanks

You're using tables. Divs and tables act funny with each other because they're essentially trying to do the same thing just in different ways.

Keep messing with it, try different things like giving a table an id instead of using a div and then setting that to display:none;

ok, this is starting to make much more sense, but now the print button does not do anything.  I gave the div an id and removed the table, and the css file has the id info set to none like you said.
Am I supposed to change the print button to something else?
 

Thanks

ok, i just realizsed i had to click the print button on the browser.  OK, i also changed my print button just to a standard print command.  So this is done, now need to fix other one remaining.

Thanks again Kayin for your help
