Print envelope - ASP / Active Server Pages

David C

We have a classic ASP intranet web site that has been around for a while.
Our customer wants to be able to print an envelope from the contact name and
address table. We have other reports that we display and print from the
HTML generated by our ASP code, but have not been able to find any way to
format a page and print to an envelope. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Print it where? on the server or client? Unless you are just saying you
want to layout the HTML so that the user can print the site/page? If so
you will really want to get away from that. Look at using a third party
addin/component like Crystal to format printings and such.

Yes, at the client. This client is very restricted and all people have
Microsoft Word and all are using IE6. Does that help?

Not really...I mean you have almost zero ability to do things on the
client, its a fundamental for security. Without a third party
control/component on the client you are limited to just formatting the
HTML result... you can do some with StyleSheets(CSS ) and such, to show
it differently but in the end there is only so much you can tweak.

You could try a little CSS:

<style type="text/css">
@media screen {
body {font-size:100%;}
}
@media print
{
@page {width:9.5in; height:4.125in}
body {width:8.5in; height:3.125in; font-size:10pt}
div#address {margin-left:5in}
..noprint {display:none}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="noprint" >Hit the print button on your browser to print this
record</p>
<div id="address">
<%=addressinfo% >
</div>
</body>

Also, it needs to be landscape print.

@media print
{
/* tells the UA this is for printing */
}
@page
{
/* tells the printer what kind of paper to use */
}
@media aural
{
/* used for screen readers and such, although most of them use IE's
rendering engine and ignore it :.( */

SAAJ response - invalid SOAP envelope

by: Stephen Chell | last post by:

I'm using SAAJ 1.2 (from jwsdp-1.3) and JDK 1.4.2_03. I've written a client application that uses the SAAJ api to send a SOAP message to a servlet. The servlet successfully receives the message and returns a SOAP response containing a single element in the SOAP body. The client receives the response and writes its content to standard out via the SOAPMessage.writeTo() method. The response received looks correct: <SOAP-ENV:Envelope...
