Getting rid of header/footer 4

WhiteTiger · Sep 5, 2001

Whenever I print in IE 5, I get these stupid headers + footers...

Invoice Fax Transmittel Page 1 of 1 at the top (that's the name of the page)

and

http://forum/forms/invoice_fax_transmittal.asp

(the location of the document.)

HOW in the world can I get rid of these STUPID things?...its for intranet forms were using to help speed things up...you can select project # and it fills out all the information for you...=) Regards,
Anth

Manually:
File>>Page Setup
Delete the text from the Header and Footer fields...

With Code:
<script type="text/vbscript">
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", ""
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", ""
</script>

Hi guys does anyone know the CSS code for changing the border style and border color of drop down menus?i.e.
the <select class=changebordertye>

All IE seems to allow me to change is the background color.

I've tried everything and searched the net over for the code. I guess it does't just exist!

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
JOhn.

aperfectcircle,
may be you'll write a faq on this subject?

& if you will, please be shure to include this link:

i see this question almost every day X-) Victor

WhiteTiger · Sep 10, 2001

Ok, is there any way to do this and set it back after I print?...I want it to disable these headers before I print, then set them back afterwards...right now I'm doing it by going to other pages, etc...and setting it back, but I want to be able to put this on other places and not have to worry about a ton of code. Regards,
Anth

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the post from aperfectcircle... I placed the code in my asp page and I still get the headers and footers. Will this regkey exist in the same location always?

Any ideas??

Regards,

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, just earse the commands in the Header and Footer section of the PAGE SET-UP option from the file menu.

Try that.

I just used it in my app and it worked perfectly. I put the Script section above the <BODY> tag and had no problems with it. Because it is an ActiveX control, you may need to change the security settings in the browser: Tools, Internet Options, Security, Custom Level --> Under the ActiveX controls, make sure they are marked for Prompt or Enable. I mark mine for Prompt. This allows me to make sure that only the scripts I want to run get run and helps avoid running virus scripts automatically.

<script Language = "vbscript">
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", ""
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", ""

Sub ResetHeader()
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", "&w&bPage &p of &P"
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", "&u&b&d"
End Sub

</script>

<A HREF="switchboard.asp" OnClick=ResetHeader()>Return To Switchboard</A>

I added the code in red and put a link (blue text) on the bottom of the page and when the user clicks it to go to the next page, it calls the ResetHeader function which resets the header and footer back to the default.

I am using IE6. I don't know if it will work with Netscape, but luckily everyone using my app is on IE.

Thanks to aperfectcircle for the original code!

Thanks,

I figured I wasn't the only one trying to get rid of the headers and footers dynamically. I'm glad someone else already had the answer.

With TwoOdd's post... what if the user had their headers and footers set to something other than a header of "&w&bPage &p of &P" and a footer of "&u&b&d"? Wouldn't the user be a bit annoyed at having them "reset" to something different?

OsakaWebbie · Oct 3, 2003

I'm doing a project right now that I need to control some of the print attributes, including header and footer, and I'm using the free version of ScriptX (

http://www.meadroid.com/sx_intro.asp).

It's a plugin (? I don't know if that is the precise term) for IE that can be installed automatically if required, and accessed by an object in the script of the page. So far it is working very nicely for me. It will let you control the margins, header/footer, page orientation, and maybe a couple other things, and everything is reset when the document is closed. (The licensed version allows way more control, but is out of my price range.) Thought I'd throw in this comment in case someone else uses the search feature on the forum.

SpiderBear6 · Oct 3, 2003

That sounds excellent. I will definately be checking that out. Thanks OsakaWebbie!

OsakaWebbie · Oct 3, 2003

Thanks, ThunderBear6 - that's my first star ever! :-D

SpiderBear6 · Oct 3, 2003

I just used the script to fix my problem.. works like a treat. I am going to give you another star because I have been trying to fix that problem for ages.

Thanks so much, OsakaWebbie.

hollander · Dec 3, 2003

Thanks OsakaWebbie!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been searching and searching for a solution to this problem. I downloaded scriptx this morning, and within 10 minutes, my headers and footers were gone! It would be great if this solution could be posted in the FAQ section because it seems like there's a lot of people out there trying to figure out how to do the same thing.

Again, many many thanks. Hollander.
