Do you want to print from the back-end (the application server) or just to enable the client to print from the delivered web page? -albxu(Yukon); 2001-3-27 (#37699@0)

Dear Yukon, would you please give me some suggestion about both of them? Thanks a lot! -canada(canada); 2001-3-27 (#37705@0)

To print from the HTML page, please refer Jabber's response. I don't get you in printing from the back-end of a table. In fact you can do anything in your JSP's logic (including Printing). But I don't see the point printing from the back end. -albxu(Yukon); 2001-3-27 (#37707@0)
If you're interested in JavaScript programming, please refer -albxu(Yukon); 2001-3-27 (#37708@0)
Dear canada, come on in, please. -jabber(jabber); 2001-3-28 {363} (#37998@0)
I don't see any point in doing the following things: The user clicks a button in the browser and the back-end at the server site correspondingly print a page or a table. I understand the only reasonable thing is as follows: A page is composed of several frames. The user click a print button in frame A, and accordingly the contents of page B is printed out.

If you just print the page itself, you may use Javascript. The syntax seems to be "document.print()". -jabber(jabber); 2001-3-27 {94} (#37703@0)
However, if you just want to print a table, you need use frames---put your table into a frame.

Dear Jabber, I can't find document.print() in my reference book. would you please explain it in more detail. Thanks! -canada(canada); 2001-3-27 (#37706@0)

It should be window.print(). I just send you an email. -bloor(bloor); 2001-3-27 (#37719@0)
