If you set your css up properly, then when you go to print the document, everything other than the part you want to print will be hidden.

You need to use a seperate css file and in the link line that hooks the file into your pages, you need to set media='print'.

[AunStudio]

Add this line in your CSS Stylesheet

Code: Select all

@media print { .noprint { display: none } }

Then wrap whatever you dont want to be printed with

Code: Select all

<span class=noprint> this text wont be printed </span>

That should do it

Cheers,

As <span> is an inline element, it is not an appropriate method for defining whole areas of a page, which is the realm of the <div> element.
