How to hide all buttons in IE6 without hiding all inputs in a printing stylesheet?

Whats the easiest method of hiding all buttons but not all inputs (say drop 开发者_JAVA技巧down lists, text input boxes) in CSS that works with IE6. The purpose of this CSS file is for printing (using the media="Print" tag in the HTML).

You can apply a class to all button inputs.

  <input type="submit" class="hidethis".../>

Then create a css class in the print stylesheet to hide those.

  .hidethis{
     display:none;
  }

Since IE6 doesn't support input[type="button"] syntax, the easiest thing to do is have each button use class="button" and add a .button { display: none; } to the print CSS.

Another option is to use the <button> tag (but I'm not sure that's standard in newer (X)HTML)
