Setting IE 5.x Page Setup Properties From a Web Page

[Guest_imported]

Does anyone know how to set the page properties (Header and Footer) in Internet Explorer 5.x from a web page?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe your asnwer is on:

The samples we give above work without any custom controls or extensions. However, there is often a need to adjust page settings such as headers/footers, portrait/landscape orientation, margins and so forth from script—and we provide support for this as part of the 'basic' functionality of our freely-distributable ScriptX ActiveX control . ScriptX 'advanced' printing functionality (accessible by license) is comprehensive and very powerful. Check out the ScriptX documentation and associated printing samples.

Does anyone know how to set the page properties (Header and Footer) in Internet Explorer 5.x from a web page without a activeX control ?

Can I not change the page setup from Windows Registry?

I found the following key which looks quite interesting-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup]
Orientation=1

However, as I change the PageSetup in IE6 SP1, this value doesn't get updated, I tried looking at

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup]

but that doesn't seem to change either!!

where are the page setup stored?

We are having an issue for when you set your orientation in IE 6 (ex: Landscape), close the browser, and go back in, the setting is not saved. This type of behaviour did not occur in previous versions.

Any help on this?
