Making printable view pages 2

[harrymossman]

Does anyone have a slick, convenient way to make "printable version" pages, e.g., in Yahoo Maps?

You could use CSS to position page elements appropriately when printed:

<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; src=&quot;print.css&quot; media=&quot;print&quot; />

See

for more info on this.

Good luck,

Thanks Ron! Excellent reference. I was also thinking in terms of removing some of the stuff like logo, banner, navigation buttons, footer, etc. to leave just the main body for the printable version. I can do that manually, of course, but I figure there must be some easy way to do it.

Hi mate,

You can also use the same technique with any other server-side language.

Hope this helps
