ASP.NET page, hiding certain controls when printingI have an ASP.NET (VB) form that has two drop downs, a horizontal rule and a
button. The button invokes a stored procedure and several tables are created on the page with data populated. I want to create a link to print the page, but I don't want the drop downs or the button to print, only the tables. How can this be done? I know how to use a CSS file to disallow the entire page from being printed, but I don't know how to apply this to only certain controls. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Private Sub lnkPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles lnkPrint.Click m_bPrint = True GetDBData() UpdateDataView() Me.NavigationControl1.Visible = False Me.NavigationControl2.Visible = False Me.lnkPrint.Visible = False Me.imgPrint.Visible = False Me.lblAppTitle.Font.Size = m_fntUnit Me.lblBanner.Font.Size = m_fntUnit Me.lblReportHeader.Font.Size = m_fntUnit Me.lblLoginBar.Font.Size = m_fntUnit Me.dgDataGrid.Font.Size = m_fntUnit m_bPrint = False Response.Write("<script>window.print();</script>") End Sub Show quoteHide quote "J Ames" <j_ames2***@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:ODKwmjbXGHA.1220@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I have an ASP.NET (VB) form that has two drop downs, a horizontal rule and >a button.

browsers print menu item. this sure seems like doing things the hard way just setup a second css and include it in your AFTER all other stylesheets include the attribue media="print" create a class in this stylesheet create a class as such : ..noprint { position:absolute; top:-10000; } just making items invisible causes havoc with some browsers - you have to physically move these items out of view you may have to play with visible, width , height as well. and override any other classes' attributes as required - font size , positions etc. then assign this class to any items you want to hide when printing <input type='button' class='noprint /> You can use this technique to print something completely different than what is viewed in the browser by over riding class properties. You can also use this technique to hide items in the browser view and display them when printing check out http://www.hgha.ca/Rep/PeeweeB.htm?tab=Schedule (or any other page on this site ) and compare what you see in the browser to what you see in print/preview.

Andrew Hi Andrew,
off the top I don't recall - seems to me it was netscape 8 and under some circumstance this resulted in a black hole being rendered where the hidden element would otherwise appear. I just did a quick test and couldn't get it to happen so I'm not sure what the exact details were - I guess that's the kind of thing I should be keeping track of. It could be that this is a doh! moment and the problem was actually with trying to use visibility:hidden rather than display:none Gerry Show quoteHide quote "Andrew Morton" <a**@in-press.co.uk.invalid> wrote in message news:uByQKHuXGHA.3808@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > gerry wrote: > > i'm not sure why you'd want print through a link rather than just > > using the browsers print menu item. > > this sure seems like doing things the hard way > > > > just setup a second css and include it in your AFTER all other > > stylesheets include the attribue media="print" > > > > create a class in this stylesheet create a class as such : > > .noprint > > { > > position:absolute; > > top:-10000; > > } > > just making items invisible causes havoc with some browsers - you > > have to physically move these items out of view > > This works in IE6, FF1+, Opera (all on Windows):- > > @media print > { > .noprint > { > display: none; > } > } > > Which browsers do you find go wrong with display:none? > > Andrew > >
