Hi guys

I'm used to providing a button on a wenpage that says "Print" and sure enough it does what it says.

But I wondered if there was a way to define a print area...? That way I can force a print request that only sends the relevant data and not the header and footer and all the navigational stuff.

Anyone else come accross this...?

Hello,

I think css can help you out here. Create a new external css page and link to it like this

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/print.css" media="print" />

Mimic your current css page and change the displays to hidden and make all your colors printer friendly. Something like this;

body { 
    color : black; 
    background : white; 
    font-family : verdana,arial,sans-serif;
    font-size : 12pt;  
}

a { 
    text-decoration : underline; 
    color : blue; 
}

#logo,#header,#menu,#footer, {
    display : none;
}

I hope this helps,

Cheers,
