Question

I’m trying to print a specific part of my application.

The application has a list of users, displaying their first and last name. When I click a user I get a popup with more detailed information about them.

How would I go about printing just the popup for a user I clicked?
The popup looks like this:

 <div id="user<?=$user->id;?>" class="popup">
      <div class="details">
           User details...
      </div>
      <a href="#print">Print</a>
 </div>

The print button isn’t working yet though.

You can use simple JavaScript to print a specific div from a page.

var prtContent = document.getElementById("your div id");
var WinPrint = window.open('', '', 'left=0,top=0,width=800,height=900,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0');
WinPrint.document.write(prtContent.innerHTML);
WinPrint.document.close();
WinPrint.focus();
WinPrint.print();
WinPrint.close();
