Printing with JS (code)

I'm not sure, but I think can use a hidden frame, and use the window.frames["myhiddenframe"].print(). Store the the text in the hidden frame, formatted however you want, with tables or pre or whatever.<br><br><br><A HREF="mailto:jared@aauser.com">jared@aauser.com</A>
CSS2 has different options for printing, you might want to look into that. It'll take the same document, but given special hooks, will print it differently. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

I can point you at some code that works in IE to format your printing stuff.<br><br><A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> HREF="mailto:-jared@aauser.com">-jared@aauser.com</A>
Netscape 4 hasn't implemented the printing stuff as far as I know, so if your printing has to be cross-browser, that's not going to work. I'd have a link to a printable version of the page- you'll see that kind of thing all over the place. If you don't want to duplicate your efforts, put everything in one XML document and then write a parsing script or seperate XHTML documents (that is, if you know XML). <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>
