HTML - Problem With Creating Printer-friendly Version Of A Page
Hi,
I'm looking to create my own version of a printer-friendly page. Any resources I can find on this subject are extremely specific about what they consider "printer-friendly", and they don't address my issue. It seems to be browser specific, but I want to get rid of whatever extra is printed in the top and bottom margins. Printed from IE, the top margin contains the page title and page information, while the bottom margin contains the URL and date. Printed from Firefox, the top margin contains the title and URL, and the bottom margin contains the page info and date. I don't want any of this - how would I disable it? Thanks. Similar TutorialsA customer gave me a Word doc that they want turned into a printer friendly web page. I understand that there are tons of ways to do this but I really want the answer to the subject. What i'm referring to is a form that someone can print from the browser and "fill in the blanks" on the page where there are "underscores". My question is how to code those underscores. I tried manipulating the <hr> tag but it's putting way too much space in between each <hr>. I've already coded a "fill in the blank" line using <u> nbsp;</u> but that looks very messy. What do you guys/gals think? I have a webpage that makes a time calendar from left to right. This means that it spans about 8 pages or so. When i go to print it i only get the first screen. Is there any way to get all of it to print. I do want it on multiple sheets so paper and ink are not a problem. thanks to anyone who can help Dave I am looking for a way to make sure that each time a page is loaded, it retrieves the latest version off of the server without the user having to click Refresh/Reload. The page has news items on it and sometimes it doesn't load the updated page, but the page that is in the browser's cache. I know this option can be changed in the Browser's properties, but I want a way to do this automatically without requiring that users change this preference.

My website contains a lot of text, and its continually printed by clients as it includes pricing etc. At the moment my pricing page is 4 pages of paper, however I wish to be a touch kinder to mother nature and be a bit more eco-friendly so I have created a document with all the pricing on one page which I have saved as a PDF file. I would like to add a link on my website to "Printer Friendly Version" which would link to the PDF and would bring up a print dialog box. What coding would I need to do this? I think it may very well be Java but I'm not the brightest when it comes to this Any help appreciated! I hope this all made sense! I am a newbie and need your help creating a webpage displaying names with the address.the height and width of the table should be 120 pixels.The border thickness be 5 pixels,border color red and bkground grey. Pls Help Hi, i'm an expereinced PC user, and am just getting into web design, thought you could help. I've got the basics of a website developed, i just need to get the difficult bits done now...just! I've split it up into two points... a) Basically I want users to add a page that I haven't got on my site, (for example, if my website was about bands, one could fill in a form with the title of the band and a few pieces of info. and then that information is taken and a page is created (the page has standard information the same as the rest of the pages, but the details the user entered are on the page)). b) Secondly I want to add to a page a text box one can type into, click submit (basically a review) and that typing be added to that page. I'm assuming some sort of database would be required, but im really not sure how to go about it. Any help would be great Many thanks I am Class Vth Student and need your help in designing the html page .I need to create a webpage displaying different names with addresses.the height and width of table should be of 120 pixel.border thickness is 5 pixel.border shud be red in color and bkground shud be grey. I dont know where to post this and i searched and couldnt find it but can anyone help me.. im creating a webpage using dreamweaver cs3 and i need to password protect a page, using a username and password, can this be done any other way besides php? If so how can i do it? Hi guys, i was wondering if you would be able to help me out. Im attempting to create a poll on my website but im struggling to get the results i want. What im trying to go is have the poll on one page, then on a separate page just have shown the top result which also shows the percentage of people who chose that option. Thanks alot in advance for your help. Sorry if this has been posted before, I looked but couldn't find it. I am having serious problems with something I am trying to create. I am building a site which at the moment consists of 1 Page, namely my index.html page. I have put a lot of time and effort into the page and it looks fantastic, however, When the site goes live (school website) there will be a LOT of content pages. My dilema is, say for instance we want to add a new button on or change something on ALL the pages, it would take hours. I know in PHP you can do the index.php?page=departments....and I am sure I have seen it in HTML before. Therefore creating me a template which I only have to change 1 page and the rest will change automatically. This would help me SO Much. Thanks In advance Greetings! This is my first post on these forums, my apologies if I do not format is properly, or such. Also, I have no code to copy here to be looked at.. I am more looking for some advice, or to be pointed in the right direction.. We want to create a download page on our website, where customers can download our product after paying, but we want the URL to expire. (Or we can make it password encrypted with a password which expires). We have the website worked out up the point of payment, we now just need to code a page which we can distribute our product on. I've bought many items before, like online e-books, or computer software, where the download stays open for 24 hours, and then closes, and that is what we are after. Can anyone point me in the direction of, or assit me in how I can make a start with this please? Some notes on the product(s): Each download is 37 MB (four downloads of four e-books) Small PDF file. Hosting space and bandwidth is not a issue. A note on ourselves: We have quite a lot of experiance within the team creating our own websites with GoLive, but none of us have done anything like this before, and we're all a little lost. I do very much appriciate your time for first reading this, and secondly I will be thrilled if you will also spend your time to help us! Thank you for reading, it's deeply appreciated. Warm regards, Nick I am working on a site that will allow the user to print out a contract. However, the customer wants a way to scan the contract in and allow their OCR software to pick up the contract # and automatically store the image. I have the peice working where I have a web page display then a printable version. However, how can I ensure that the printable version always puts the data that will be OCR'd in the same spot? Is there some sort of absolute positioning that I can use? Also, I can foresee a potential problem with this with regards to different browsers and different printer settings. I just don't know what those problems might be. I'm fairly new to html, so if it's something obvious, give me a break. I have a background image with blank sections where I want to put stuff in to, and in one of the sections I want to put a frame or a table so I can have a list of links which you can scroll through, but I don't know how to put it anywhere I want on the page. Any help would be great, thanks. Hello I'm trying to create a page, when its someone's first time opening the web site they get asked if they are under 18 or not and if they are over 18 and enter the site, and the next time they come to the site, it would by pass the age page. Is there anything that I can read that would help me create it? Please give me any suggestion that you have. Thank You Hi! I am currently building a site that is quite heavy with jQuery. I would like to be able to detect if people are using JS and if not re-direct them to an alternate version of the site that doesn't use JS. I have tried the code: HTML Code: <noscript><meta http-equiv="location" content="URL=mysite.com/nojavascript" /></noscript> In the head of the document. but this doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thank you! Hello All, I am new to this, and not sure if this is the right forum. But, I have a simple web page with drop down menus where I can put values for a calculation. I would like to have the values saved as an input file for a python script that resides on the server. I would like the input file to be created and then the script executed and the output appear as a new page. I have googled this and have come up empty. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks, Bryan Hi. Im having a hard time getting this to work. I have bought a service from a phonenumber supplier and they will provide me with a database. But i need to create a searchform that queries and shows the results on the same page. I have all the strings and such to make it but i need an example on how to make this page. Its got to be in either php or html. I can not give you the url and such to the suppliers because it is classified. hehe But if anyone could give me a little helping hand here i will be very thankfull. This website.. has been a pain in the behind. Lately visitations have been falling. I cant get it to be visited that much, the average hits per day fell from 13 / 16 to 2 / 4 per day. It needs help and im clueless. Upgraded the meta data today. But since the site doesnt contain that much articles and headlines im stuck what to do more? Please have a look and do advice if you have some experience? thanks These are 2 lines of my HTML code. I am trying to make a dropdown menue. The first one which has Http address works properly but the second one which is a link to another HTML file in the same directory doesn't work. actually the second item of the menue is disabled.
