jQuery Print Plugin

jQuery.print is a plugin for printing specific parts of a page

Usage

Include it in your HTML after importing jQuery, like:

	<script type="text/JavaScript" src="path/to/jquery.print.js" />

Use it like:

	$("#myElementId").print(/*options*/);

or

	$.print("#myElementId" /*, options*/);

You can submit the options object like:

	$("#myElementId").print({
        	globalStyles: true,
        	mediaPrint: false,
        	stylesheet: null,
        	noPrintSelector: ".no-print",
        	iframe: true,
        	append: null,
        	prepend: null,
        	manuallyCopyFormValues: true,
        	deferred: $.Deferred(),
        	timeout: 250
	});

####globalStyles
