View Full Version : not printing buttons in print window

I am using this CSS:

<STYLE>
.hide { display : none ; }
</STYLE>

in an attempt to hide a button from print. However, I currently use this script to open a page to print only everything within certain DIVs. Can I incorporate the two somehow to make certain things within the printing DIV invisible?

<script language="JavaScript">
var gAutoPrint = true; // Flag for whether or not to automatically call the print function

function printSpecial()
{
if (document.getElementById != null)
{
var html = '<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n';

if (document.getElementsByTagName != null)
{
var headTags = document.getElementsByTagName("head");
if (headTags.length > 0)
html += headTags[0].innerHTML;
}

html += '\n</HE' + 'AD>\n<BODY>\n';

var printReadyElem = document.getElementById("printReady");

if (printReadyElem != null)
{
html += printReadyElem.innerHTML;
}
else
{
alert("Could not find the printReady section in the HTML");
return;
}

html += '\n</BO' + 'DY>\n</HT' + 'ML>';

var printWin = window.open("","printSpecial");
printWin.document.open();
printWin.document.write(html);
printWin.document.close();
if (gAutoPrint)
printWin.print();
}
else
{
alert("Sorry, the print ready feature is only available in modern browsers.");
}
}

</script>
