Need print out help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 12.2006

I want to print out something out in a table so,
the “document.write(“text”)” won’t work because
it writes the text in a new plain html document.

Is there a way to print out something in to a table
or maybe a form so when i click on a link, somewhere on the site i a cell i the table som text appear?

@JMRKEROct 12.2006 — Try writing the information to a 'pop-up' window that contains only the information you want to print. Close the window when done.

"<a href="#" onClick="br('2')">link</a>"

so...

@JMRKEROct 12.2006 — Do you have some HTML or sample script that you have started?

@virranauthorOct 12.2006 — This is when i'm just trying to print out something, later on i will do a for-loop in the function that prints out "<br>".


<html>

<head>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function printOut(text) {

document.form.write(text);

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<a href="#" onClick="printOut('5')">hehe</a>

<form name="form">

</form>

</body>

</html>

@JMRKEROct 12.2006 — In your sample code, I deduce the following:

1. You only print out '5' (at this time). I understand you plan on substituting '5' with something else at a later time.

2. You are trying to printout to the SCREEN not the PRINTER. I have been making the assumption that you wanted the latter.

3. The command 'document.form.write(text);' will not do what you want as the site will have been created (and finalized) by the time you click on the anchor tag of 'hehe'. You may want to look into the use of 'innerHTML' for this purpose. There are several examples when you search this forum.


Is this all you are trying to do?
