Change standard printing headers/footers

[JulesBos]

Hi

I've got a webpage developed in .NET, which I want users to be able to print. I've got the formatting all correct and it looks fine printed with ONE major drawback.

When you send a webpage to a printer, by default the page prints with the page name & page number(s) in the header and link address and date in the footer.

I really really need to remove these from the print. Is there any way of doing this? Should I be asking in the html forum?

Thanks in advance
Julia

Can you hide that info using CSS before you try to print?

It's not shown on the page itself, it's an IE5 page setup issue. The user can select what they want in the header and footer of the printed document normally, but I want to do this programmatically. I actually want to put a custom footer in.

Thanks

Sorry I meant IE6

You can't do it. It's up to the user what they print and you can't override that browser setting.

OK thanks for that. At least I know what I'm up against.
