Hi there,

Can anyone please advise the code for printing a webpage? What I am trying to do is I want to have a PRINT button on the front page ( no articles on the front page) to print the entire webpage.

This is for a single page website.

Thanks.

Nicole

Hi Tiggercat

I think that the button is not necessary because all browsers have print button.

Thanks, HeRo, this print button is to help users who are confused and don’t know how to use their browser’s print button. I’ve tried to use window.print “<form><input type=”button” value=” Print this page “
onclick=”window.print();return false;” /></form> “
but the page couldn’t print friendly, it print half of the page. Please advise and help.

Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Tiggercat
Joomla article component have set config display sprint icon on article detail page. So you should go to backend => Content => Articles Manager => click to “Options” button on toolbar then set “Show Print Icon” to “Show”
Or if you want to customize page, you can use code below:
<a href=”#” onclick=”window.print();return false;”>print</a>
