ASP "print button"

    Hi, I'm an ASP and CSS newbie but I'm getting by.

    I have a page that contains an ASP:table element to display some data.

    Is it feasible to put a button on the page above the table that will print the table only - not the whole page.

    Has anyone any implementation suggestions?

    Thanks folks,
    Brianmc

    you could :

    Store the data you want printed in a div, have a print button that then opens a new window and copies the div into it and call the js window.print();

    you could use a print.css file to hide all elements on the page accept for the table you want to use. Do a bit of reading on "print css". You embed an extra file for print use only using:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />

    Would agree with DJ, much easier (and better as users can turn off javascript on their browser but cannot really turn off CSS) to use CSS. Have a look at display:block; and display:none;

    I have my Firefox web developer toolbar which does this. :p

    Yeah, me too, but how often do you turn off css while browsing? You only really do that during testing... well, I do anyway! :D

    Thanks folks,

    I used a combination of ideas. I'd made the layout of the site using tables (it's a long time since I've had to do anything webby) so my print button pulls up a new page with a couple of navigation bits and pieces along with the data. The navigation bits are hidden for printing by CSS.

    It worked out well - I like to think.
