:confused: Hi all,
I have a DIV panel in an ASPX page. At default it loads with scrollbars (OVERFLOW: auto). If I want the page to print (by clicking a button), I want to delete the OVERFLOW tag, send window.print() and after printing, set the OVERFLOW tag to auto again.
My question: is this possible to do with JavaScript? If Yes, How can I achieve this goal?
Thanx in advance,

you might get better results with CSS print media type .
I agree that you should use a specific print stylesheet. But, for the sake of it, here's how you do it using Javascript:
Code:var mydiv = document.getElementById('something');
mydiv.style.overflow = null;
sure that works? I can't get it to work. Have done this:
btnPrint is an ImageButton...Code:sb.Append("var mydiv = document.getElementById('pnlData');"
sb.Append("mydiv.style.overflow = hidden;")
btnPrint.Attributes.Add("onclick", sb.ToString())
it gives me an error, and it posts back... and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
by the way: read this about css:
Quote:
(Authored by Kevin Venkiteswaran) Part of browsers' poor support for printing includes butchering content that is laid out with anything but position: static. This includes "simple" positioning such as relative and absolute. For example, Win/IE5.0 and Win/IE5.5 would show only the top-most onscreen portion of a <div> that was positioned absolute and had overflow: auto (a CSS setup to emulate HTML frames). Similarly, Mozilla 1.6 had similar problems. The solution was to change all position properties from fixed, absolute, etc. back to static
What language is that in?Quote:

Could it be...

Yeah, you're right, made a mistake in typing and copying the code... I've done it the right way :).
Solved it another way, so I set this post to solved.
Thnx for all the replies.
