Well, it may be obvious to you, but it isn't obvious to me that the page even uses frames, never mind how to print them. Peter, if you right-click and select to see the frame in question (while in 'Print View') and then select Print Preview in Firefox, you can see all pages that the tables will spread across. Actually I right-clicked in the original page and selected Open in new tab. I got the same output as I get by clicking the Print button at the bottom of the original page, so I suppose we now know what that button does. Thanks Stroller for pointing this out. Indeed. -- Rgds Peter

Not exactly ... the 'Print View' button uses a different stylesheet, but yes it has the same effect of making all pages of the table printable. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I can't access a phpmydamin page at this moment to check, but what you want is a suitable CSS sheet for printing. I assume that the page uses frames and the current print configuration (or lack of it) does not include the frame that you wish to print.

Nice idea, but from the print preview it appears that part of the frame is included, but not its overflow onto succeeding pages.

I've just looked at this demo site using print preview in Firefox and Opera: http://demo.phpmyadmin.net/STABLE/index.php FF will only show the first page of a table - this to me translates to a poorly written CSS for printing purposes, or lack of a print-CSS altogether. In Opera the first print preview page is blank. If I click on the print preview icon on the toolbar it will switch between successive frames. The 3rd frame contains the table across 3 pages, so it should print the lot. The CSS is not well written though because e.g. there is a blank page between the 1st page which just contains a header and the third page which starts right from the top (no margin) with the table. Now, Opera is not the best browser for printing, especially so over the few previous versions, so YMMV. I haven't tried with Konqueror, which also has the Print Frame option and may be able to isolate the frame with the tables. -- Regards, Mick
