css - How do I hide an element when printing a web page?

Question

I have a link on my webpage to print the webpage. However, the link is also visible in the printout itself.

Is there javascript or HTML code which would hide the link button when I click the print link?

Example:

 "Good Evening"
 Print (click Here To Print)

I want to hide this "Print" label when it prints the text "Good Evening". The "Print" label should not show on the printout itself.

Answer 1

In your stylesheet add:

@media print
{    
    .no-print, .no-print *
    {
        display: none !important;
    }
}

Then add class='no-print' (or add the no-print class to an existing class statement) in your HTML that you don't want to appear in the printed version, such as your button.
