Printing a part of a page, according to a visitor's request

[geotso]

Hi.

I know I can link a media stylesheet to a page, to prevent some elements
from printing, but I need something more, according the following scenario:

A page contains a topic, divided into two or three sub-topics. At the top of
the page I put an image, and when a visitor clicks it a hidden layer popups
containing a form with four radiobuttons and two buttons:
radio1: print sub-topic1
radio2: print sub-topic2
radio3: print all
OK button: proceed with printing
Cancel button: hide the layer without printing

I know how to show/hide a layer and how to insert a radio group using
Dreamweaver, but I don't know what the action of the form could be, nor the
structure of the stylesheet, if this could be done with stylesheets at all!

Is there another suggestion on how to accomplish this?
Can someone help me please?

You could make different print style sheets. And set the selected one to
'active' with a bit of JS.
