Re: javascript: printing divs

Casey,

Before this gets moved to the WEB400 list...

Are you looking to always print this set of divs, or do you want to
print set A sometimes and set B at other times?

If you always want to print the same thing, the easiest thing to do is
change any CSS you are using to have a media="screen" attribute.  That
will keep you from screwing things up in the browser.  Then create
another style sheet with a media="print" attribute, and format your
page as you wish.  You can hide the divs you want to hide, change
fonts, sizes, colors, etc.

We do this on my site (www.estes-express.com) to create a
"printer-friendly" version of most of our pages (getting rid of all of
the navigation and extraneous graphics).

If you want one set of div's to print when you click one button and a
different set of div's to click when you print another button, you can
apply the same theory.  Make the buttons run javascript that swaps one
print stylesheet for another.
