Hi all,

I have a page in which i display data using datagrid.
On the top of this page there is a printer icon, clicking on it opens a new page which displays the same data as in the previous page but in a printer friendly format. This page will also have a printer, clicking on which should start the printing process.
But the "printer" image should not appear in the printout. Is it possible ? If not then should i implement it using crystal reports ?

thanks in advance

Vinay

Vinay,

You can make use of "window.onBeforePrint" and "window.onAfterPrint" event to achieve this.

In window.onbeforeprint --- set the visibility of that button to false .. then on onAfterPrint set it back to true. I guess these events are available from IE 5.0+

For your easy reference:

Alternatively, use CSS with the media attribute set to print, as explained here:
