SSI Printer Friendly Page Version 1

[cian]

Howya guys,

I'm creating a printer Friendly page version for certain pages of my site. I am using SSI to call up a specific style sheet when the "Printer friendly" link is clicked. All seems to work well except when I print the page I get 2 extra blank pages with it.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
In the style sheet I am basically hiding the rest of the content using "visibility:hidden", could this be a factor?

The page i'm testing with is:

The printer link is at the bottom and you can get to the CSS from the source.

Any advice/comments appreciated. Any other comments about printer friendly pages appreciated too.

Thanks!

Hi mate,

To get around this, your best bet is not to include the code rather than hiding it. If you include all the code that you are hiding in another file, then you can include that based on the page called.

Something like the following:

<!--#set var=&quot;format&quot; value=&quot;$QUERY_STRING&quot; -->
<!--#if expr=&quot;$format != /print/&quot; -->
<!--#include virtual=&quot;file.shtml&quot; -->
<!--#endif -->

Hope this helps Wullie

Hi Wullie,

Thanks for the feedback!
Do I understand right that the content I want to omit needs to be 'included' in the original page so I can leave it out of the printed version?
I work with your example, see what i can do. Thanks!
