Question

I open my JQplot on a modal Div window, which has a print button.

I want the print button to only print the graph.

Or possibly open a new window with a graph in it.

What do you think is the best route and how would that solution work?

Answer 1

You could call something like this thats inside of an onclick

//if the print button is in parent window   
$("#iframe")[0].contentWindow.window.PrintFrame();

//runs in child frame
function PrintFrame() 
{
     //hide everything you don't want to see besides the graph
     window.focus();
     window.print();
}

I would not open a new window.

Just create an anchor tag with an onClick event. Inside the event hide everything you don’t want and then fire window.print(). Another way would be to create a print style sheet and hide everything you don’t want to show up in the print style sheet.

How does this print stylesheet work?
