Question

I want to add css styles with jQuery, but not be in in the html when I print out html(). Example:

$('#wat').css("cursor", "pointer");

$('#ok').click(function() {

var str = $("#wat").html();

$("#html").text(str);

});

when it prints out the html, inside the element with the ID of “wat”, it has style="cursor: pointer;

Is there a way to add the css without being in the html? thanks

@David, not really. I think what you might want to do is have a print.css file that you can apply when printing which turns off all the stuff you don’t want during a print.

Generally speaking if you have a print.css file and you tell the browser that that is the css to use when printing, it’ll handle the rest automatically during a print.

So in your main css youd have a cursor style and in your print you’d have a cursor style where you set a different style type.
