hi,

I am new to html, so there are some basic things that i dont know.

Is there any code in html to print a page?
If we want to print a specific area and not the whole page how is it written in html?

Please guide me through this, coz i am a little confused in this printing functionality


regards,
kaushik

I assume that you mean print like in print with a printer. You're going out of HTML here, as HTML's only job is to render. To print a page, you would have to use Javascipt window.print(). To trigger this you would of couse have to put an a tag around it like so <a href="window.print()"> or an onclick or something of the kind. Since javascript is kind of hierarchical, i guess that you could also put window.form.print() is you want to print a form window.iframe.print() to print an iframe. Go ahead and learn a little javascript at http://www.w3schools.com/

There is no way to use HTML to send data to a printer, I'm afraid...you'll need a scripting language to do that.

guys what u r saying is alright, but how can we determine the area of page to print. For example top half of my web page has got banner on it, so i dont need to print that. say use window.form.print will print the form area.
What if i have got some tables to be printed ??

please enlighten me

CSS does that? Wow... Another reason why CSS owns all.

But if you want to stay with javascript, learn how a page is heirarchically divided in JS and from there, you should find a solution to your problem, young padawan.
