Maybe try sth. like `@media print { input { border: none; } }` in your css — Felix Lemke, May 23 '18 at 10:37

In this specific case, you can't add the CSS externally, but you have to do something like:

frameDoc.document.write('<style>@media print { input { border: none !important; } }</style>');

Anyways,

    @media print{
        .noprint{
           display:none;
           content:"Hello! No printing allowed!";
        }
    }

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div class='noprint'>
Hello! Press CTRL P!
</div>
</body>
</html>

Put everything you don't want seen in the .noprint class, and it shouldn't 'display' when you print it.

EDIT:

It completely works for me. Did you really think I would post something without testing it first? If you're having trouble with it, then maybe you're just using a old browser. It's supported by Chrome 21, Explorer 9, Firefox 3.5, Safari 4.0 and Opera 9.

It is there and it's working 100%, I even added a placeholder text too... :/ – Lorddirt May 23 '18 at 11:29
I don't know what's wrong. Maybe some browsers don't support it? – Lorddirt May 23 '18 at 11:35
