javascript:
window.print() can realize print function,but it don't fit me,because
window.print() will print all screen information.I know another method,it
will write information into Excel and then print it in Excel,but it don't
fit me too,because it don't print directly! I want to know how to realize
print function directly?
This isn't Struts-specific, it's a general web development question. You
have plenty of options, but the two I'd suggest you look at first are as
follows:
1) create a 'print media' CSS style sheet to control what's output when
the page is printed. You can selectively remove parts of the page you
don't want to include in the printed format, as well as alter
presentation styles (font, etc) to achieve the look you want. This has
the advantage that the user will get the same result using their
browser's default 'print' function, or hitting your Javascript print button.
2) if you need the printed output to be more substantially different
than the on-screen format -- you need a completely different layout, or
even different data, in the printed version, for example -- then you
probably want to create two seperate pages, one for the on-screen view
and one for the print view, then have a button in the on-screen view
that will bring up the print-view.
Option 1 is by far the better approach IMHO, provided the differences
between your on-screen and print-format data aren't beyond what can be
achieved with CSS.
