I am not looking for code formatting. I would like to create a
presentable report that shows what the user enetered into the
form fields. The report would be printable and not be full of
the input boxes. The way i would do this normally is load the
data into an object and then build a display sheet that places
the data exactly where I want it, so that when the user prints
it out, it looks nice. I figure I will have to do that here,
too. I was just wondering if i was missing out on a neat mod
that helped format this for me using the form config files.
You should be able to do that with a media=print style sheet:
<link rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
media="print" href="print.css" />
Example from <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/>.
You can change the border, background, display style, etc. for
input elements on the form. Radio buttons may pose more of a
challenge. It means you don't need a different form config for
printing, you just need a different style sheet (which can be
used for all forms, dry).
Using extra classes, it also is easy to hide things like submit
buttons; eg. create a .noprint class {display:none} and assign
it to all non-printing elements.
