You can use this tag to make a print link.
<%= link_to 'print', 'your_link_here', :onclick => 'window.print();return false;'%>
Now, if you want to print a specific section, you can use media types of css
/*This css will only works when you print*/
@media print {
body {
background: #FFF;
}
}
I'm not sure if i misunderstand something here because this seems more like a javascript question then a rails one to me: But here is how you make a print link:
<a href="#" onclick="window.print();return false;">print me</a>
Note: the return false is critical, otherwise the app will hung up.
You could also make a special print page with only the desired information and have window.print in the onload event like this:
<body onload="window.print();">
Include this in where you want to add the print button
function printPage() {
window.print()
}
After that, give a link or button
<%= link_to "print", "#", onclick: "printPage()" %>
