Print Alternate Page in FF?

This tag works in Internet Explorer.

Is there a similar tag for FireFox/Mozilla? Thanks.

change alternate to stylesheet and it should work in all browsers. (modern ones, that is)

<added> disregard above post, i assumed you were trying to import a print media stylesheet to reformat the current page, but it looks like you are trying to print a different page altogether </added>

Hmmmm - I've never used it myself, but according to the W3C it is a standard tag: [w3.org ].

One thing I notice that you're not using is the type attribute, I wonder if this will help:

I use this in the <head> section:

And it works ok. At least in the main things.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="verde.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dina4.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

thats what i originally thought keyplyr was asking for, but the post is about alternate PAGES for printing, not alternate css

Yep. Disregard then my post.

Thanks for the responses.

BlobFisk, I added type="text/html" to the tag but FF still prints the webpage and not the alternate. Wonder why?

That is bizarre... I haven't seen anything about FF not supporting this either.

Anyone else seen this issue?

hello world ;)

I have exactly the same problem as keyplyr.
My link tag works fine when I use IE (the linked document is printed instead of the html page) and when intend to print the document using Firefox the web page is always printed!
I would be very grateful if anyone knew a way to make Firefox behave like IE (I can't believe I'm writing this!) in this situation.

Thanks
