Re: [PHP] Printing Web Page
Thanks to all. That worked well. I just had to insert the stylesheet link on each of a couple dozen pages, but it worked. My pages were a little complicated and took some work - and could probably use more but I'll deal with that as I go. Some samples I found were very simple print stylesheets, others were longer but written from scratch. I started with my previous screen stylesheet and modified it. That seemed to work pretty well.

What is the next step, to display the page on screen using the new stylesheet, then rely on the user to use the browsers print button? Thanks, Patrick Easier than that even, the browser automatically selects this stylesheet when the user presses the print button (or you issue a window.print() from javascript) because it recognises the media=print attribute. You can use the media type for other browsers too, like audio, print, screen, projectors, etc. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
