Print specific part of webpage

Question

I m trying to print a specific part of my application   The application has a list of users  displaying their first and last name  When I click a user I get a popup with more detailed information about them    How would I go about printing just the popup for a user I clicked  The popup looks like this     lt div id  user lt    user- gt id   gt   class  popup  gt         lt div class  details  gt             User details           lt  div gt         lt a href   print  gt Print lt  a gt    lt  div gt    The print button isn t working yet though

You would have to open a new window or navigate to a new page  containing just the information you wish the user to be able to print  Javscript   function printInfo ele        var openWindow   window open      title    attributes        openWindow document write ele previousSibling innerHTML       openWindow document close        openWindow focus        openWindow print        openWindow close        HTML    lt div id        gt       lt div gt          content to print      lt  div gt  lt a href     onclick  printInfo this   gt Print lt  a gt   lt  div gt    A few notes here  the anchor must NOT have whitespace between it and the div containing the content to print

I wrote a tiny JavaScript module called PrintElements for dynamically printing parts of a webpage   It works by iterating through selected node elements  and for each node  it traverses up the DOM tree until the BODY element  At each level  including the initial one  which is the to-be-printed node   s level   it attaches a marker class  pe-preserve-print  to the current node  Then attaches another marker class  pe-no-print  to all siblings of the current node  but only if there is no pe-preserve-print class on them  As a third act  it also attaches another class to preserved ancestor elements pe-preserve-ancestor   A dead-simple supplementary print-only css will hide and show respective elements  Some benefits of this approach is that all styles are preserved  it does not open a new window  there is no need to move around a lot of DOM elements  and generally it is non-invasive with your original document   See the demo  or read the related article for further details

Here is my enhanced version that when we want to load css files or there are image references in the part to print   In these cases  we have to wait until the css files or the images are fully loaded before calling the print   function  Therefor  we d better to move the print   and close   function calls into the html  Following is the code example   var prtContent   document getElementById  order-to-print    var WinPrint   window open          left 0 top 0 width 384 height 900 toolbar 0 scrollbars 0 status 0    WinPrint document write   lt html gt  lt head gt     WinPrint document write   lt link rel  stylesheet  href  assets css print normalize css  gt     WinPrint document write   lt link rel  stylesheet  href  assets css print receipt css  gt     WinPrint document write   lt  head gt  lt body onload  print   close     gt     WinPrint document write prtContent innerHTML   WinPrint document write   lt  body gt  lt  html gt     WinPrint document close    WinPrint focus

Instead of all the complicated JavaScript  you can actually achieve this with simple CSS  just use two CSS files  one for your normal screen display  and another for the display of ONLY the content you wish to print  In this latter file  hide everything you don t want printed  display only the pop up    Remember to define the media attribute of both CSS files    lt link rel  stylesheet  href  screen-css css  media  all    gt   lt link rel  stylesheet  href  print-css css  media  print    gt

Just use CSS to hide the content you do not want printed  When the user selects print - the page will look to the   media  print  CSS for instructions about the layout of the page   The media  print  CSS has instructions to hide the content that we do not want printed    lt  -- CSS for the things we want to print  print view  -- gt   lt style type  text css  media  print  gt    SCREEN VIEW CONTAINER          display  none         other print layout          background-color  FFF         lt  style gt    lt  -- CSS for the things we DO NOT want to print  web view  -- gt   lt style type  text css  media  screen  gt       PRINT VIEW        display  none        other web layout          background-color  E0E0E0         lt  style gt       lt div id  SCREEN VIEW CONTAINER  gt       the stuff I DO NOT want printed is here and will be hidden -       and not printed when the user selects print   lt  div gt    lt div id  PRINT VIEW  gt       the stuff I DO want printed is here   lt  div gt
