With reference to this link and this, I printing a report using javascript as
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function printpage()
{
var data = 'Sample Report<br />Sample Report<br />Sample Report<br />';
var data = data+'<br/><button onclick="window.print()">Print the Report</button>';
myWindow=window.open('','','width=800,height=600');
myWindow.innerWidth = screen.width;
myWindow.innerHeight = screen.height;
myWindow.screenX = 0;
myWindow.screenY = 0;
myWindow.document.write(data);
myWindow.focus();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Print Preview" onclick="printpage()" />
</body>
</html>
But after printing, the print button still remains at the hard copy. So how to hide the print button in hard copy when printing by using the above function?

Reset to default 7Give your button a class, e.g. class="noprint". Then Add a stylesheet for print media to your CSS:
@media print {
/* style sheet for print goes here */
.noprint {
visibility: hidden;
}
}
Details: http://www.w3/TR/CSS2/media.html
I just solved this with the following css after assigning id to print button.
<style type="text/css">
@media print {
#myPrntbtn {
display : none;
}
}
</style>
And my button as follows.
<input id ="myPrntbtn" type="button" value="Print" onclick="window.print();" >
Also, you can run javascript function with the following actions...
- Hide the button
- Print the page using window.print();
- Again Show back the button
Piece of code...
<script type="text/javascript">
function printMyPage() {
//Get the print button
var printButton = document.getElementById("myPrntbtn");
//Hide the print button
printButton.style.visibility = 'hidden';
//Print the page content
window.print()
//Show back the print button on web page
printButton.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
</script>
