    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>
