Open a new javascript window(.open) along with its CSS styling

Question

I\'m trying to get this function to work on the website of a project I\'m working on. The purpose of this function is to only (physically) print the contents of a child div

Answer 1

I do something similiar to the above example but found it doesn't work in all browsers. The following was tested with all the major browsers and works for me. (Remember, some styles can be dependent on parent elements, so if your div is nested inside those elements the styles may not look exactly the same in the print window as on your parent page)

function printWithCss() {
        //Works with Chome, Firefox, IE, Safari
        //Get the HTML of div
        var title = document.title;
        var divElements = document.getElementById('printme').innerHTML;
        var printWindow = window.open("", "_blank", "");
        //open the window
        printWindow.document.open();
        //write the html to the new window, link to css file
        printWindow.document.write('');
        printWindow.document.write(divElements);
        printWindow.document.write('');
        printWindow.document.close();
        printWindow.focus();
        //The Timeout is ONLY to make Safari work, but it still works with FF, IE & Chrome.
        setTimeout(function() {
            printWindow.print();
            printWindow.close();
        }, 100);
    }
