print out

suzie

Dear friends,
How to print a specific area from a website page...??
in our website we have a page that contains a table, I want to add an option for the visitors in order to print this table,

is there any option.

what i did I linked the print to an html page that only contains the table,
(window.open(xx.html).
is there a way to open the page and print it in the same time??

thank you

you can use print css to hide everything but the table.
a javascript call on a page to window.print() should open the print dialog.

but using CSS it can be printed out..can you tell me more on how to use it??

thanks a lot.

and about window.print(), ok I know that it open the dialog box no problem, but what i want is that after the click on window.open() , the print dialog box open without clicking another time.

I mean clicking on one button to do : window.open() and then window.print()

ahh well, using print css it might not be necessary to open another window - here's an article that will probably explain it better than i will before I've had my coffee.
If you do decide to open a new window, then you can use <body onload='window.print()'>
