To display the table in a new page, one method is to use JavaScript to submit a form with all the necessary variables to the new page where the table will be generated.
<form name = "theform" .... >
<input type = "hidden" name = "something" value = "importantdata">
... more input fields
</form>
<script type = "text/javascript">
submit('theform')
</script>
Alternatively, you can utilize the window.open() method in JavaScript to open a new page for the table, passing a few variables through the URL. This is ideal for scenarios with minimal data to transfer.
Another approach involves keeping the user on the same page and allowing them to toggle the display of the table by clicking on a specific element. This can be achieved by enclosing the content to be hidden in a div element.
<div id= "remove">
content to hide
</div>
By using JavaScript to toggle the display property of the targeted element, the user can control when the content is shown or hidden.
document.getElementById('remove').style.display = 'none';
Furthermore, keep in mind that the window.print() function only opens a print dialog for the user to configure and initiate the printing process. Ensure the printer is ready and set up according to the user's preferences before using this method.
