Custom styles scrollbar using jquery

If we want to have a custom scrollbar style in html page, there are several options available, but we have to keep in mind the browser compatibility since each browser supports different features.


  1. There are some browsers which support webkit property on css styles, scrollbars in these browsers can be styled relatively easily. But IE, firefox and opera are not compatible with webkit css styles
  2. There is a fallback jquery plugin available for not webkit browsers described at http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/ which is very nice.

Javascript print div

I was searching for a way to print only one div in a webpage using jquery and/or javascript and come across this post which works very well:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33732739/print-a-div-content-using-jquery

The only downside is print function opens a new window:
function printDiv() 
{

  var divToPrint=document.getElementById('DivIdToPrint');

  var newWin=window.open('','Print-Window');

  newWin.document.open();

  newWin.document.write('<html><body onload="window.print()">'+divToPrint.innerHTML+'</body></html>');

  newWin.document.close();

  setTimeout(function(){newWin.close();},10);

}
As an alternative, I managed to code a slightly different print function like so:

function printMyDiv(id) {
        var container = document.getElementById(id),
            origDisplay = [],
            origParent = container.parentNode,
            body = document.body,
            childNodes = body.childNodes,
            resetParams,
            handleMaxWidth;

        // hide all body content
        Array.prototype.forEach.call(childNodes, function (node, i) {
            if (node.nodeType === 1) {
                origDisplay[i] = node.style.display;
                node.style.display = 'none';
            }
        });

        // only show our div
        body.appendChild(container);

        // print
        window.focus();
        window.print();
        setTimeout(function () {
            origParent.appendChild(container);
            Array.prototype.forEach.call(childNodes, function (node, i) {
                if (node.nodeType === 1) {
                    node.style.display = origDisplay[i];
                }
            });
        }, 1000);

    }
