jeffman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Here is what you asked for: var content = document.getElementById("my_div").innerHTML;var my_win = window.open("","win");my_win.document.write(content);my_win.document.close(); But be aware that pop-up blockers get stricter and stricter every time a browser gets revised.An alternative would be to create a media stylesheet that hides everything you don't want to print. Not so difficult if all your content is arranged in <div> elements. That would look something like this: <style type="text/css"> @media print { div.header, div.footer { display: none; } }</style>* * *<body> <div class="header"> Don't print me </div> <div class="content"> YES! PRINT ME! </div> <div class="footer"> Don't print me </div> </body> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardfan123 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 would the sylte sheet open in a new windowand is there a way to tell it what you want to print instead of what you dont want to printhere is the page to show you http://www.allyscandle.com/homeshowdealerf...ards-joinus.htmi just want the white section to print out on a white piece of 8.5 x 11 paperif i can get a preview in another window that would be even better but it does not have to just thought it would be easyier to get the cards to open in a new window and print the window.

jeffman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If you want to put content in a new window, I showed you how.The style sheet trick is an alternative to opening a new window.Theoretically, you can use the media rule to tell the browser only what it should print, but in practice this could get very hard, especially if your page is disorganized. And that page you linked us to is VERY disorganized. It doesn't even show up in the latest Firefox beta. Nothing but the green background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 You've heard of Firefox? It's a browser in competition with Explorer. Most developers recognize it as far superior to Explorer, because it adheres to standards, while Microsoft has not. A conservative estimate is that 30% of your visitors will come on Firefox. A beta version is simply a pre-release version. So I saw your page on a browser that will be released in 5-6 months or so.Microsoft publisher is a terrible environment to create pages in, because (among other reasons) it caters to the flaws in Explorer and tempts you (without your knowing about it) to use non-standard code that is only used by Explorer.The page looks okay in Safari, except that all the inputs are frozen.Your design itself is really pretty simple. Following best practices, you could duplicate it in 1-2 hours in a plain text editor. Assuming you know some HTML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
