Javascript printing

[dotkpay]

Hello,

 

I have an application that prints a message after processing but the problem is that the window.print function of js prints a whole web page and not a particular message for example something like "hello".

 

Could anyone please show me how to print a specific message from a php script and not the web page.

 

Another issue I have is the windows 7 dialog that comes up after js function window.print is activated.

Is there a way I can make my application skip this dialog and print directly?

 

Thanks in advance

Are you looking for something like

echo '';

or

print();

? If not, in JavaScript, something like alert();?

Are you using an AJAX response? If so, you need to only be outputting the specific message from the PHP script and not the entire HTML layout.

In this case I mean physical printing on paper and not just printing to a screen like echo or document.write.

 

The message to be printed is as a result of ajax because the page is not reloaded whereas the message comes form a php processing file

You need to use a "print" media stylesheet to hide any elements you don't want printed to paper, and to style how the page should look.
