| Subject | problem with disabling div |
| Message-ID | <ea5c8a11-d715-4649-a0e8-f69f9775d0b2@googlegroups.com> |
In PHP code I have:
if ($images + $movies > 0) {
echo "<tr><td>Attachements:</td><td>";
echo '</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td><div id="attachments">';
$dir = getPicturesDir($fullAnnouncementNo);
$picturesDir = substr($dir, strlen(FCPATH) + 1);
$pictures = getPicturesOf($fullAnnouncementNo);
foreach ($pictures as $p) {
if (isMovie($p)) {
echo '<object data="' . base_url($picturesDir . '/' . $p) . '"></object>';
} elseif (isImage($p)) {
echo '<img src="' . base_url($picturesDir . '/' . $p) .'">';
}
}
}
I want to disable attachments div when printing.
function setCurrentStyle(elem, cssProperty, cssValue) {
if (elem.currentStyle) { // IE
elem.currentStyle[cssProperty] = cssValue;
elem.style[cssProperty] = cssValue;
} else if (window.getComputedStyle) {
elem.style[cssProperty] = cssValue;
}
}
function printAnnouncement() {
var btn1 = document.getElementById('print_announcement');
var btn2 = document.getElementById('summary');
var att = document.getElementById('attachments');
var i;
setCurrentStyle(btn1, 'display', 'none');
setCurrentStyle(btn2, 'display', 'none');
setCurrentStyle(att, 'display', 'none');
window.print();
setCurrentStyle(btn1, 'display', '');
setCurrentStyle(btn2, 'display', '');
setCurrentStyle(att, 'display', 'block');
}
Buttons print_announcement and summary are correctly disabled when printAnnouncement() is called. Div attachment is still visible. I don't understand why.
Please help.

I'm probably missing something here, but I'd try:
<style type="text/css" media="print">
#attachments {display:none;}
</style>
Or, instead of the display property. use:
visibility:hidden;
if layout preservation is needed.

Best wishes, Osmo

I added to my view "show/hide attachments" button. I want to have
attachments invisible by default. When user presses "show attachments" the
attachments (images and movies) should be shown. When user presses "hide
attachments" the attachments should be hidden. The attachments should never
be printed.
Here is main part of my view:
<div align="center">
<input id="print_announcement1" name="print_announcement" type="button"
class="normal_button" value="Print announcement" onclick="window.print();">
</div>
<br>
<style type="text/css" media="print">
input#print_announcement1, input#summary1, input#print_announcement2,
input#summary2, input#show_hide_attachments, div#attachments { display:
none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHideAttachments(btn) {
var a = document.getElementById('attachments');
var movies = document.getElementsByTagName('embed');
var i;
if (a.style.visibility == 'hidden') {
a.style.visibility = 'visible';
for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++) {
movies[i].hidden = false;
}
btn.value = 'Hide attachments';
} else if (a.style.visibility == 'visible') {
a.style.visibility = 'hidden';
for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++) {
movies[i].hidden = true;
}
btn.value = 'Show attachments';
}
}
</script>
<table id="printout" border="0">
<caption>
<h6>Announcement</h6>
<hr>
</caption>
<tfoot>
<tr><td colspan="2"><hr></td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
... <!-- announcement data -->
<?php
if ($images + $movies > 0) {
echo "<tr><td>Attachments:</td><td>";
echo '<b>', $images, ' images, ', $movies, ' movies</b> ';
echo '<input id="show_hide_attachments" type="button" value="Show
attachments" onclick="showHideAttachments(this);">';
echo '</td></tr></tbody></table>';
echo '<div id="attachments" align="center" style="visibility: hidden">';
$dir = getPicturesDir($fullAnnouncementNo);
$picturesDir = substr($dir, strlen($publicHtmlDir) + 1);
$pictures = getPicturesOf($fullAnnouncementNo);
foreach ($pictures as $p) {
if (isMovie($p)) {
echo '<embed hidden="true" autostart="false" height="0"
width="0" src="' . base_url($picturesDir . '/' . $p) . '"><br>';
} elseif (isImage($p)) {
echo '<img src="' . base_url($picturesDir . '/' . $p) .'"><br>';
}
}
echo '<input id="print_announcement2" name="print_announcement"
type="button" class="normal_button" value="Print announcement"
onclick="window.print();">';
echo '</div>';
}
?>
I use <embed hidden="true" autostart="false" ...> becase I don't want the
movies to be displayed at document load.
The problem is that the movies are not displayed at all when user presses
"show attachments". I don't know why and I don't know how to program it
correctly.
Please help.

Do this with css, no javascript needed:
@media print {
.noprint {display:none;}
}
input#hide[type=checkbox]:checked + .noshowchecked {
display:none;
}
<div class='noprint noshowchecked'>...</div>
<div class='noprint noshowchecked'>...</div>
<div class='noprint'>...</div>
<input type='checkbox' id='hide'> Hide

Use ~
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/General_sibling_selectors>
The checkbos has to be before the elements and have a common container,
it seems. Now tested working on Chrome:
<style type='text/css'>
@media print {
.noprint {display:none;}
}
input#hide[type=checkbox]:checked ~ .noshowchecked {
display:none;
}
</style>
<body>
<input type='checkbox' id='hide'> Hide
<div class='noprint noshowchecked'>a...</div>
<div class='noprint noshowchecked'>b...</div>
<div class='noprint'>not printed only...</div>
</body>

Under which law? According to the Oxford Dictionary of Law if you can persuade your friends to call you Dickhead then that's perfectly legal. However, if you were baptised by the Church of England then you need to obtain your bishop's permission to change your Christian name. John

That will be the official or legal name. The real name, possibly
modified by marriage or otherwise, will be the one given + inherited at
the infant's naming ceremony if any or its substitute - and that name
may not use Western European characters , and the aunts and uncles do
not necessarily know how to spell the official version.

Consider, for example, any esteemed gentleman sometimes referred to as Binyomin, which seems in many cases unlikely to be the exact name that he was formally given by his parents as a new baby, though it may well have been used for registration with Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden or elsewhere. Or, if you prefer, consider the 5th Dalai Lama. -- (c) John Stockton, Surrey, UK. ¬@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05 MIME. Merlyn Web Site < > - FAQish topics, acronyms, & links.

[the spelling 'Binyomin' wit an 'y' seems strictly English] > which seems in many cases unlikely Why? > to be the exact name that > he was formally given by his parents as a new baby, I doubt parent 'formally' give names to babies, they just register such the name[s], at the registry office [or a religious equivalent person?] in England or to the the officer of the état civile in states under Napoleontic law. Perhaps we should elucidate 'formal'. Surely all babies are 'new', aren't they? Or is this 'Binyomin' of yours an old one? > though it may well have been used for registration What is so 'informal' with such registration? > with Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden or elsewhere. What is the argument? > Or, if you prefer, consider the 5th Dalai Lama. Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, should I prefer to consider him, why? -- Evertjan. The Netherlands.
