Toolman Posts: 203 Joined: 3/14/2002 From: United Kingdom Status: offline	CSS - 3/28/2003 12:07:51 Is it possible to specify a selected area of a page using a style sheet so that I can then use that sheet when printing off a page.

bobby Posts: 11394 Joined: 8/15/1969 From: Seattle WA USA Status: offline	RE: CSS - 3/28/2003 12:33:42 You can specify specific styles for printed pages in CSS... though I' ve never done it personally I know a lot of people use it. There may be some info under CSS at www.w3schools.com or try searching the forums for CSS + print It' s not specifying a page area... but rather a style specifically for a print call I believe... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Toolman Posts: 203 Joined: 3/14/2002 From: United Kingdom Status: offline	RE: CSS - 3/29/2003 7:29:51 Bobby, justjay Thanks for the reply and the info. Jay I had already looked at the link page you provided and I have already set up the 2 style sheets. What I need to know is can I specify an area of the page using a style sheet or is there another way of doing this so that when someone tries to print out a web page I can specify which part of the page to print.

Justjay Posts: 697 From: Montreal, QC Canada Status: offline	RE: CSS - 3/29/2003 9:19:23 The only way I can think of to do it is to use this phpPRINT Script here _____________________________ JustJay thejehm.net Web Solutions SAH Link Exchange Serious About Hosting (in reply to Toolman)


Toolman Posts: 203 Joined: 3/14/2002 From: United Kingdom Status: offline	RE: CSS - 3/29/2003 10:25:47 Thanks Jay I have tried this and cannot get it to work. I have added in the hyperlink to the phpPrint.php page on my page that I want printed. Does it have to go anywhere special, eg header, footer etc. Do I have to use the link to print the page? The page is in the root of my web as is the .php page Cheers _____________________________ Toolman " ....It was like that when I got Here!" (in reply to Toolman)

Justjay Posts: 697 From: Montreal, QC Canada Status: offline	RE: CSS - 4/2/2003 7:16:43 Well then here is a question - does your intranet have PHP?

Toolman Posts: 203 Joined: 3/14/2002 From: United Kingdom Status: offline	RE: CSS - 4/2/2003 9:56:39 Jay Dont know Ime afraid. Is this something that runs on the server like ASP? If so do you have to install it with the FP server extensions or is it done automatically? Excuse my ignorance on this matter I have not come across this before Cheers _____________________________ Toolman " ....It was like that when I got Here!" (in reply to Toolman)


Justjay Posts: 697 From: Montreal, QC Canada Status: offline	RE: CSS - 4/2/2003 10:42:38 PHP runs on nix servers, ASP (MS) runs on IIS, Apache ASP runs on Apache nix servers, FPSE are FrontPage server extensions. Well me last suggestion to get just a certain part of a page to work is to use the PRINT ALTERNATE document tag. What you need to do is create a different page with ONLY the data you want users/visitors to be able to print, then add this tag into the <head> of your file -- <link rel=alternate media=print href=" _print/print.htm" > --the part in bold you need to change to reflect where your alternate document is....

The print dialog won' t open from the File menu. The print buttons do nothing. I can' t even open the Print Preview. It' s doing something, but what? This is all in IE6. With NS7 I can print, but it just prints the page I told it to print; not the alternate page. I' ve tried it with htm, asp, and php extensions. The tag is within the <head> tags. Ideas?

RE: CSS - 4/3/2003 10:26:37

Yes.

Here is the code for page one:

<html> <head> <title>Printer Friendly Printing</title> <link rel=alternate media=print href=" PageToPrint.htm" > </head> <body> Try to print this page and you should really print <a href=" PageToPrint.htm" >this one</a>. See JustJay' s post on <a href=" http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/tm.asp?m=127056" >this</a> thread. </body> </html>

Here is the code for page two (the one to print):

<html> <head> <title>Page to Print</title> </head> <body> This is the page that should print when you try to print the OpenMeFirst.htm document. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. </body> </html>

What have I missed?

Thanks,
Andrew

SerenityNet Posts: 1364 Joined: 6/12/2001 From: Allen, TX, USA Status: offline	RE: CSS - 4/3/2003 11:59:01 Hmmmm. It' s not working for me, either by clicking on the " print this page" link or by using the File/Print menu - see the error below. (Note that the error only appears if I click on the " print this page" link.) I get the same symptoms as with the original <head> code. I can' t get a print dialog or anything from that page in IE6. In NS7 it just prints the first page and not the ugly second page that is is supposed to print.

Okay here is the code from the FIRST Page...

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv=" Content-Language"  content=" en-ca" >
<!--this page provided courtesy of thejehm.net - http://www.thejehm.net-->
<meta http-equiv=" Content-Type"  content=" text/html; charset=windows-1252" >
<link rel=" stylesheet"  type=" text/css"  href=" ../../style/jehm_css.css" >
<link rel=alternate media=print href=" print.htm" > 

<script type=" text/javascript" >
<!-- Begin
function printWindow() {
bV = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (bV >= 4) window.print();
}
//  End -->
</script>
</head>

<body>

<p><a class=" highlight"  href=" javascript:printWindow()" >Print this page</a> and see what happens ----> View the source code of this 
page...then loot at the source code of the page that is set to
<a class=" highlight"  href=" http://www.thejehm.net/look/serenity/print.htm" >print</a> (http://www.thejehm.net/look/serenity/print.htm) </p>
<p> </p>

<!--webbot bot=" Include"  U-Include=" ../credit.html"  TAG=" BODY"  startspan -->

<div align=" center" >
  <table border=" 1"  cellpadding=" 0"  cellspacing=" 0"  width=" 100%"  id=" table1"  style=" border-width: 0" >
    <tr>
      <td style=" border-style: none; border-width: medium" >
      <p align=" center" >This page provided courtesy of...</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td style=" border-style: none; border-width: medium" >
      <p align=" center" ><a href=" http://www.thejehm.net" >
      <img border=" 0"  src=" ../images/logo-sm.gif"  alt=" thejehm.net"  width=" 200"  height=" 70" ></a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td style=" border-style: none; border-width: medium" >
      <p align=" center" >Visit us at www.<a href=" http://www.thejehm.net" >thejehm.net</a></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>

<!--webbot bot=" Include"  i-checksum=" 12647"  endspan --><p> </p>

</body>

</html>

And the screen shot - and I am not having any of the problems you are and I have NO idea why...

I tried it from my work PC (I' m working from home today) - same firewall, same version of IE, just running through VPN is about the only difference. I' m running Win2K on both PC' s. It works on my work laptop, but not my home desktop. However, it does take about 30 seconds for the print dialog to appear. Also, I don' t get the error on my work PC. Does this give you any ideas? _____________________________ </Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done.> (in reply to Toolman)
