I have been fighting this issue for quite some time now, and have been (still) unable to print my div with its styling.
Currently, my script is:
$('#printMeButton').click(function () {
//alert("a");
var data = document.getElementById('thisPrintableTable').outerHTML;
var mywindow = window.open('', data);
mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>Print Me!!!</title>');
// mywindow.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Site.css" media="screen">');
mywindow.document.write('</head><body>');
mywindow.document.write(data);
mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');
mywindow.document.close();
mywindow.focus();
mywindow.print();
mywindow.close();
return true;
});
which is nested within a $(document).ready
function.
When I include the desired stylesheet (currently commented out), Nothing appears in the print preview.
I also have some script that has an effect on the appearance of the table, and, as such, I believe this may hold the key of having these included into the popup window.
How can i include this into the new popup?
Could someone please suggest a way of printing this as it stands?

Now, in print.html I'll write:-
