I need to ideally print form data but whenever i do a window print it prints all of the page including graphic buttons etc.
I thought I could do this by moving data from one page to another but how do i do that?
I have the form data in the form of arrays, basically two pieces of information,a quantity and a cost.
any help would be great as i have tried searching on the net and not got very far..thanks

sorry should have made it clear I am designing a web page !

Although I am fairly comfortable with HTML I am just learning javascript and finding it a bit difficult.

Question should have been clearer, I am writing a form the contents of which I want to print when somebody clicks a button, trouble is using window print it prints the whole page, I just want to print a section of the page..is that possible? :

What you really need is asp or php code for that to work easily. If you dont have access to a server that hosts scripts, or know how to write code, then the easiest way is to create a link for print this story at the bottom of the paragraph, and create a text only page for that that link.

eg:(place this onthe bottom of your webpage)

<object id=WBControl width=0 height=0 classid=CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2></object>
<script language=VBScript><!-- //
Sub VBPrint() On Error Resume Next
WBControl.ExecWB 6,1
End Sub
//--></script>

<script language=JavaScript><!-- //
if (window.print) self.print();
else if (navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') !=-1) VBPrint()
setTimeout('self.close()',3000);
//--></script>

Then create a paragraph page, and a form at the bottom of each paragraph(changin paragraph1.htm to paragraph2.htm etc at each link):
<form>
<input type="button" value="Print this item" onClick="window.open('paragraph1.htm','newwin');">
</form>


Or you can place the text you want to be able to print in a text box and call them for printing:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (window.print) {
text = document.mxForm.myTextarea.value;
winId = window.open('','newwin');
with (winId.document) {
write('<body onLoad="window.focus();window.print()"><pre>'+text+'</pre><\/body>');
close();
}
}
//--></script>
