Example
Try the following example.<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- //--> </script> </head> <body> <form> <input type="button" value="Print" onclick="window.print()" /> </form> </body> <html>
Output
Although it serves the purpose of getting a printout, it is not a recommended way. A printer friendly page is really just a page with text, no images, graphics, or advertising.You can make a page printer friendly in the following ways −
- Make a copy of the page and leave out unwanted text and graphics, then link to that printer friendly page from the original. Check Example.
- If you do not want to keep an extra copy of a page, then you can
mark your printable text using proper comments like <!-- PRINT STARTS
HERE -->..... <!-- PRINT ENDS HERE --> and then you can use
PERL or any other script in the background to purge printable text and
display for final printing. We at Tutorialspoint use this method to
provide print facility to our site visitors. Check Example.
