Hi,

There is "window.print();" to print whole page, now I have form textarea box on this page and want only print the contents of this textarea box(it has scroll bar on the right side), how can I do that? can I use javascript or something else to print it? thanks in advance.
 
The easiest way is probably to write the contents to a popup.
Code:
function printTextArea(){
  var popPrint=window.open();
  popPrint.document.open("text/plain");
  popPrint.document.write(document.formName.textAreaName.value)
  popPrint.print();
  popPrint.close();
}
