Just a thought, is it possiable to have a printer-friendly kind of script done via Javascript or CSS or anything like that?? I found a site ( that has the printer friendly script but it's in CGI and i'm not familiar with CGI so I can't read it or manipulate for my beniefit...
Thanks for the help... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

In IE, you can do manipulations with the onbeforeprint and onafterprint events. I think mozilla (ie too?) supports different style sheets for screen and print, defined as such:

<style media=&quot;print&quot;>
//some stuff
</style>

<style media=&quot;screen&quot;>
//some stuff
</style> jared@eae.net -

You have to put in in the body and it displays a :

<form>
<p><input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;printWhole&quot; value=&quot;Print&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.print()&quot;></p>
</form>

If using frames you need to:

****Create 1 page w/ the frame that you will probably have the navigation in:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>window.print() method</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS=&quot;25%,75%&quot;>
<FRAME NAME=&quot;controls&quot; SRC=&quot;buttonpage.htm&quot;>
<FRAME NAME=&quot;display&quot; SRC=&quot;contentpages.htm&quot;>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

****Create another page (this is called buttonpage.htm in the code above):
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Print()</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;button&quot; NAME=&quot;printWhole&quot; VALUE=&quot;Print Entire Frameset&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.print()&quot;><P>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;button&quot; NAME=&quot;printFrame&quot; VALUE=&quot;Print Bottom Frame Only&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.display.print()&quot;><P>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

****Then create your content pages and enter the page name in the first code your wrote for DISPLAY
Line reads: <FRAME NAME=&quot;display&quot; SRC=&quot;contentpages.htm&quot;>

If you want I can e-mail you a sample of the pages just send me an e-mail and I'll send you the zip

Hope this helps s-)

Hi GUJUm0deL,

Sorry about taking so long to get back to you, I've been really busy. Do you still want me to e-mail you the code? Jay

Hi GUJUm0deL,

I e-mailed the zip file to you containing the three htm pages you need. I thought I'd let you know ahead of time so you can expect an e-mail with an attachment. (I didn't know if you were like me where I never open attachments from people I don't know).

I hope this is the code you were looking for, if you have any questions or need help just let me know.
