I have two divs: div1
and div2
.
Maintaining the original css styles applied to the div2
element being printed.
I don\'
<script type="text/javascript">
function printDiv() {
var printContents = document.getElementById('Your printable div').innerHTML;
var originalContents = document.body.innerHTML;
document.body.innerHTML = printContents;
window.print();
document.body.innerHTML = originalContents;
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function printDiv() {
var printContents = document.getElementById('Your printable div').innerHTML;
var originalContents = document.body.innerHTML;
document.body.innerHTML = printContents;
window.print();
document.body.innerHTML = originalContents;
}
</script>
Using my following solution you can print the specific div content from your web page if you don't want to print your full page.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.1.min.js" > </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function PrintElem(elem)
{
Popup($(elem).html());
}
function Popup(data)
{
var mywindow = window.open('', 'new div', 'height=400,width=600');
mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>my div</title>');
/*optional stylesheet*/ //mywindow.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" type="text/css" />');
mywindow.document.write('</head><body >');
mywindow.document.write(data);
mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');
mywindow.print();
mywindow.close();
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="yourdiv">
Div you want to print. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque a quam at nibh adipiscing interdum. Nulla vitae accumsan ante.
</div>
<div>
This will not be printed.
</div>
<div id="anotherdiv">
Nor will this.
</div>
<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="PrintElem('#yourdiv')" />
</body>
</html>
Live Demo
You can also do it using jQuery:
<script>
function printArea(){
$('body').css('visibility', 'hidden');
$('.div2').css('visibility', 'visible');
window.print();
}
</script>
