Print part of window

In javascript window.print() will print the whole window.

Is it possible to print part of window?

For example in my html I have a button, say "print", two tables, after I click "print" I want only contents in one table printed.

I saw someone using frame to do this. My problem is that my html contains only tables.

Is there any script doing this?

Thank you for your help.

Try this !!!

<SCRIPT>
<!--
// Hide tags with id="noprint"
//when printing
function printSetup()

{
var a = document.all.item("noprint");


    if (a!=null) {


        if (a.length!=null) {
        //multiple tags found


            for (i=0; i< a.length; i++) {
            a(i).style.display = window.event.type == "beforeprint" ? "none" :"inline";
        }
    } else 
    //only one tag
    a.style.display = window.event.type == "beforeprint" ? "none" :"inline";
}

}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY onbeforeprint="printSetup()" onafterprint="printSetup()">
<P>You can see me and print me <BR>

<H2 id="noprint">You can see me, but not print</H2>
<SPAN id="noprint">
<BR><HR>Works with SPAN and other tags
</SPAN>
</BODY>

Or this...

.dontprint { display:none }

.printonly { display:inline
}
}
</style>

The styles in the
@media print {}section of the will only
apply when printed.

<div
class="printonly">You will only see
this when printed.. good for placing
messages like
"CONFIDENTIAL"</div>
<span
class="dontprint">This will not print.

Great for navigation bars</span>
<b
class="dontprint">Works with lots of
tags
