Hi, not sure this is the right forum, but here goes...

I'd like to make printer friendly versions of articles on a website I'm developing. Now, this is simple enough to do by hand when it's only a few articles. But I have lots and lots to do and I'm wondering if there is a quick method that will do this for me. Suggestions, anyone?

For what it's worth, the site is entirely HTML and I'm using Dreamweaver to develop and publish it.

You can just use your existing pages, but use a print stylesheet and when the pages are printed, they will format for the printer:

If you think funkdaddu's text is too long, here's the ecential: wrap your css code in @media print{} for the printfriendly version, and in @media screen{} for the on screen verion:

e.g:

@media print{
  #menu{
    display:none;
  }
}
@media screen{
  #menu{
    display:block;
  }
}

This is the best way to do it, but you can get a javascript to do the same thing if your struggling with CSS.
