More precisely, the better idea is to use a *print stylesheet*, one that is only triggered if the media is “print”. This is a CSS feature and is not related to scripting. CSS is on-topic in . OP: It is outright rude to start a thread in a newsgroup *knowing or assuming* that it is going to be off topic. You are not going to elicite answers this way, not many competent ones at any rate, as you are wasting people’s free time. People have subscribed here because they are interested in the topic of *this* newsgroup. If you have difficulty finding the appropriate newsgroup, there are newsgroups like where you can ask about that. You can even ask in a newsgroup in which the thread is likely off-topic where it would be on-topic. But it does not work as you did. Please read the FAQ of this newsgroup on how to post properly, and do not do again what you did. > Or: Save the old document in a variable. Replace document by > content. Print. Restore old document. Race condition, bad idea. > In jQuery, see »printElement«. Worst idea so far, cracking a nut with a hand grenade (*iff* it goes off). -- PointedEars FAQ: | SVN: Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
