I am using the script below:

<script>
function printpage()
{
window.print()
}
</script

To call it after with this:

<input type="button" value="Print this page" onclick="printpage()" />

But I don't know how to insert in the script this:

$('input' )
.hide();

Meaning that all the input from the print area is hidden.

Any ideas?

• javascript
• html
• css
• printing
• media

• You need a '.' infront of the input to get all input classes using jquery. – C0D3 Commented Sep 28, 2012 at 19:37

You can solve this using CSS by specifying the media type as print:

  <style type="text/css" media="print">
/*<![CDATA[*/
    input{
        display:none;
    }
  /*]]>*/
  </style>

Use @Media CSS rule:

@media print {
  input {visibility:hidden;}
}

or

@media print {
  input {display:none;}
}

The choice between these options depends on your page flow: display:none removes the input pletely, while visibility:hidden simply hides it, but it still occupies its place.

You don't need to hide it in JavaScript.
