Okay, I have come up with a piece of code that will allow you to print part of a webpage and not the whole thing. It uses the <div></div> codes and <id> tags to get this done. However, I am having issues getting it to work in Firefox or Netscape. It does work like a charm in IE. Anythoughts on how I can get this done?

Here is the code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
@media print{
.noprn{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}
.prn{
left:0px;
top:0px;
display:block;
visibility:visible;
}
}
-->
</style>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function printDiv (id) {
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('DIV');
for (var d = 0; d < divs.length; d++){
divs[d].className='noprn';
}
document.getElementById(id).className='prn';
window.print();
}
//-->
</script>


<input name="Print" type="button" onClick="printDiv(this.form.divSelect.value); history.go(0)" value="Print" />


Here is the website that I am using it on:

http://jobs.georgiasouthern.edu

on the employment/professional-admin and classified page.

also, a forum I built http://www.cgfyb.com/ if you would like to review and make some suggestions!

Thanks in advance

I'm not an expert in Javascript so I won't try and tell you what the right code is. I will help you with why the code isn't working.

Netscape and IE run two different scripting languages. Javascript was written BY Netscape and is used by Netscape like browsers. JScript, is Microsoft's counterpart.

To learn more about the differences, check Microsoft's MSDN. It should have information on the differences and why yours isn't working.

is this webpage on the web or on ur comp? I can see if there is a way to work it out using some other techniques.

Hi,


<input name="Print" type="button" onClick="printDiv(this.form.divSelect.value); history.go(0)" value="Print" />

You should try "this.parent.divSelect.value" instead of one you used.

I hope that it works.
