Adding to print: dynamically set information set outside the table

cwelrod

Allan,

I have page with dynamically set information outside of the datatable. How could I include that information in the print out?

Thank you.

Hi cwelrod,

At this moment in time it isn't possible with the current TableTools code to have certain information also included - at lest, TableTools has no knowledge of that. Good idea for an enhancement though! I've added it to my to do list. Until then, it would require a hack in the code not to hide your display elements.

Allan,

Ok, fair enough - I hacked TableTools.js to get this effect.

Do you know why the table column headers are in the print view screen generated by TableTools.js but not in the IE7 printed page?


Thank you,
Chris
