I am looking for a way to add parameters on a print function, because I have to print only the table and when I alert the table it shows me the correct value but when I'm printing it prints the entire page.

My code is

aa = document.getElementById('tablename').innerHTML

If I alert(aa) it gives me the write value
then I print(aa) it give me the entire page.
so I tried print(aa) and aa.print and it doesn't work.

Does anyone know the solution for this?

Print stylesheets are nice, but you can still accomplish this in Javascript. Just pass your value to be printed to the following function...

function printIt(printThis) {

  var win = window.open();

  self.focus();

  win.document.open();

  win.document.write('<'+'html'+'><'+'body'+'>');

  win.document.write(printThis);

  win.document.write('<'+'/body'+'><'+'/html'+'>');

  win.document.close();

  win.print();

  win.close();

}
