css to produce a print out

css to produce a print out

Postby dazz_club on Tue Jun 26, 2007 10:41 pm

hi guys i currently have a box that contains some text and i use the overflow:auto to keep the content inside.

i would some like to have a button.link that allows the user to press and it would produce a nice clean print out of the text.

at the moment when it prints it works by cutting of the text off.

cheers

You could have some javascript like...
Code: Select all
function = prnt() {
document.textbox.print()
}


And then call it like...
Code: Select all
<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="prnt()" </a>


I'm not sure if that will even work though..sorry if it doesn't.

Try defining the text you're trying to print (in the scrolling box) with the document.write function, but with display none for that page only.
if you get what I mean?

I'm not sure, but it might work.
