HW15 Posts: 57 Joined: 3/12/2004 Status: offline	"Printer Friendly" icon on webpage - 4/9/2004 13:51:48 I'm using FP2003 and wondered how to make "Printer Friendly" versions of each of my webpages. I've seen it done in yahoo's email and mapquest's maps. So, I would like to allow someone to click on a "Printer Friendly" icon and then print the page without all the excess stuff around the sides, top and bottom of the page. Does anyone know how to do this? Do I just cut and paste the selected content onto a new page? Then I would have two of every page in my whole site! Help please!

Do I just cut and paste the selected content onto a new page? Then I would have two of every page in my whole site! That's the only way to do it without scripting... AFAIK I've done this with ASP pages generated from a database, which makes it a little easier since you can drop the content into the page dynamically from the DB (just without all the images and fanciness of the page template) _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Also, how do you make the "Printer Friendly" icon link to the new page AND automatically open the printer window at the same time? I've seen some sites that do this. (in reply to bobby)

Super easy, only one version of each page, and print perfectly every single time... google it, PHPPrint _____________________________ one step at a time, just replace 4 bulbs with CFL bulbs http://www.climatecrisis.net/ (in reply to d a v e)
