"Printer Friendly - Version"

[gmaltais]

I have this HTML file that I am working on that I want the user to be able to print on a 8 1/2" x 11" no matter what browser he is using.

Is there a way to format the page this way so that it's perfect for printing everytime?

Thanks..

Hello

:)

well, since the html is made for the screen, there is no a "prefect" control over the printed things, but you can try using css and diferent units, i know you can use "cm" and i supose you can use "inch" as well, but in my experience, ther is not an infallible solution.

if there are elements of the html page that dont need printing (decoration, navigation etc) you can use a print stylesheet e.g.

have a another css file and import like:

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

and then in that file have e.g.

.navigation {
display:none;
}

this might give you more room on your print out for the real content.
