Hey all, I'm wondering if there's a standard way to build pages that can be printed. I want to build my site as normal but for some pages I want to have a 'Print this page' option that takes the reader to another page that will print just the text. It's a pretty basic question but I guess I'm just wondering how you go about doing this. Is there a standard width I should use? What about page breaks... should I just let everything flow together and let the printer sort it out or should I put the text into a table with a defined width and height? Thanks, Kirsty
You can actually have a seperate stylesheet for print which would allow a user to print that page (you could just have a print button) and it would only print what you have declared to in print stylesheet. Just use: <LINK rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="print.css" media="print"> Code (markup): Any containers you don't want to show, just set them to display:none; (like maybe header/footer/search/links) etc in print stylesheet. Can also set width to 100% to match printer paper size.
