How do you print HTML content on click of a button but not the page?

How do I print only certain parts of a website?

Select the portion of the Web page that you wish to print by highlighting it. Place the mouse cursor at the beginning of the section you wish to print, then press and hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor to the end of the desired section.


@media print {
  .noPrint{
    display:none;
  }
}
h1{
  color:#f6f6;
}
<h1>
print me
</h1>
<h1 class="noPrint">
no print
</h1>
<button onclick="window.print();" class="noPrint">
Print Me
</button>

I came across another elegant solution for this:

Place your printable part inside a div with an id like this:

<div id="printableArea">
      <h1>Print me</h1>
</div>

<input type="button" onclick="printDiv('printableArea')" value="print a div!" />

Now let's create a really simple javascript:

function printDiv(divName) {
     var printContents = document.getElementById(divName).innerHTML;
     var originalContents = document.body.innerHTML;

     document.body.innerHTML = printContents;

     window.print();

     document.body.innerHTML = originalContents;
}

Here is a pure css version

.example-print {
    display: none;
}
@media print {
   .example-screen {
       display: none;
    }
    .example-print {
       display: block;
    }
}
<div class="example-screen">You only see me in the browser</div>

<div class="example-print">You only see me in the print</div>

According to this SO link you can print a specific div with

w=window.open();
w.document.write(document.getElementsByClassName('report_left_inner')[0].innerH‌​TML);
w.print();
w.close();
