How do I hide an element when printing a web page?

i am using below code for the print-- but if printing the full page. what do I have to do to print the limited area of the page (below the print button area)?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> 
if (window.print) {
document.write('<form><input type=button name=print value="Print Page"onClick="window.print()"></form>');
}
</script>

The above script is working fine but for only the whole page.

Hide your print button (or other things you don't want in print) page using media css. Check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/355313/how-do-i-hide-an-element-when-printing-a-web-page — Rikesh, Jan 04 '13 at 10:20
You can add a print CSS to hide the stuff you don't want to print. — PeeHaa, Jan 04 '13 at 10:20
You want javascript to print your area of the page ? Not possible — Sahal, Jan 04 '13 at 10:20
Yes.. how can this `script` could make an impact on just `table`, means how can i have `print` a table only from the above script ? — Kritika Gupta, Jan 04 '13 at 10:21
Although @ShivanRaptor is right about doing lowercase tags note that when it is an HTML document (so not XHTML) it is actually case insensitive. But please just use lowercase tags :) — PeeHaa, Jan 04 '13 at 10:30

Using CSS:

@media print{
  /* in here hide all elements you dont want printed e.g.:
   * div#header{ display: none; }
   */
}

Oh I got it. Need to put the code in css and related Div. Thanks a lot. – Kritika Gupta Jan 04 '13 at 10:23
Yeah, you can all the print function with javascript, but you need to define whats visible when printing the document in CSS (using the `media`) tag. – Prisoner Jan 04 '13 at 10:26

You can add @media print css where you will hide all elements on the page that you don't want to print. You can set them to display:none and they will not show on print page
