Jquery and defined action for page name

[toplisek]

I have tested Jquery print page. There is function to print window like:

$('ul#printmyUL li.print a').click(function() {
window.print();
return false;
});

How to set correct page name to be printed inside window.print();

I like to detect current page name which will be printed with function window.print();

<?php
$searchURL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo '<br />'.'The page URL with extension is: '.$searchURL;

$searchterm = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
echo '<br />'.'The folders and file extensions are: '.$searchterm;
//includes FOLDERS and FILE EXTENSIONS

function curPageName() {
return substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],strrpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],"/")+1);
}

echo '<br />'.'The current page name is: '.curPageName();
?>

window.print()

will print the contents of the current browser window. The exact output is a combination of information inside the HTML of your document and your printer settings. In most cases, the

<title>

will be used as the name of the page (as listed on the printout).

Page name or file name?

You could do it like this. Since you're (properly) returning false from your function, you could pass a reference of the link itself. Using the anchor's href, you could get the file name:

<a href="page-one.html">Page One</a>


$('ul#printmyUL li.print a').click(function() {
return printWin(this.href);
});

function printWin(thelink) {
// alert('Link is ' + thelink);
window.print();
return false;
}

Or, if you want the anchor text,you can access the anchor's text content:

$('ul#printmyUL li.print a').click(function() {
return printWin($(this).text());
});

function printWin(anchor_text) {
// alert('Text is ' + anchor_text);
window.print();
return false;
}

Or, if you want "some other value" there's two ways off the top of my head. The first is in HTML5 you can use "data-anything" where HTML5 allows you to populate any attribute that begins with "data" onto any element:

<a href="page-one.html" data-pagetitle="This is my page title">Page One</a>

$('ul#printmyUL li.print a').click(function() {
return printWin($(this).attr('data-pagetitle'));
});

function printWin(anchor_text) {
// alert('Text is ' + anchor_text);
window.print();
return false;
}

For HTML4, or even HTML 5, you can use the title attribute or (ab)use the rel attribute:

<a href="page-one.html" title="This is my page title">Page One</a>

$('ul#printmyUL li.print a').click(function() {
return printWin($(this).attr('title'));
});

function printWin(title_attr) {
// alert('Title is ' + title_attr);
window.print();
return false;
}

<a href="page-one.html" rel="This is my page title">Page One</a>

$('ul#printmyUL li.print a').click(function() {
return printWin($(this).attr('rel'));
});

function printWin(mytitle) {
// alert('Rel value is ' + mytitle);
window.print();
return false;
}

There's probably many more ways. :-)
