Is there anyway to set up a page so when the user goes to File, then Print, and it prints okay? Is there a way to do this without having a separate printable page, or print button on your site?
Thanks

I beg your pardon if I misunderstood ur question.
Do you mean that you want your web page to read your mind and print?

just curious..:-)

You can have different CSS files for screen and print controlling fonts, backgrounds and layout on the same webpage.

Is that the answer you where looking for? (your question is a bit vague)

Stefan -

How do you do that? (different print vs display css on the same page)

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html for details but it's esentially:

<link href="screen.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="print.css" media="print" rel="stylesheet" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Yes, essentialy I would like it to read my mind and print what I want. :)

I understand what you mean in regards to using CSS. I am aware of the Page Break command, but not a whole lot more. Is there a site that I could go to that would teach me more about CSS in more laymans terms?

Thanks!
