Printing the content inside the div tag

cheeky · April 26th, 2007, 07:26 AM

I want to print the content in the a div tag. I have tried that somewhre i read of copying the content in the divtag to a window object. And print that new window. But in that it is opening a new window. But i dont want a new window to be opened.

The code i refered is as follows

function printSpecial()
{
    if (document.getElementById != null)
    {
        var html = '<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n';

        if (document.getElementsByTagName != null)
        {
            var headTags = document.getElementsByTagName("head");
            if (headTags.length > 0)
                html += headTags[0].innerHTML;
        }

        html += '\n</HEAD>\n\n';

        var printReadyElem = document.getElementById("printReady");

        if (printReadyElem != null)
        {
                html += printReadyElem.innerHTML;
        }
        else
        {
            alert("Could not find the printReady function");
            return;
        }

        html += '\n</BODY>\n</HTML>';

        var printWin = window.open("","printSpecial");
        printWin.document.open();
        printWin.document.write(html);

        if (gAutoPrint)
        {
            printWin.print();

        }

    }
    else
    {
        alert("The print ready feature is only available if you are using an browser. Please update your browswer.");
    }
}

Can any one suggest a better way
