printing page in landscape

hi all
i have one page that generates a report (basically a table ) in ASP.i have a button that prints that page using window.print(). now i want to print that page in landscape mode (by default its printing in potrait mode). i dont want to ask user to change orientation from print window.
pls let me know if we can have any such javascript or server script that either change the printer setting or make the page or div to be printed as landscape.
thanks in advance.

Hello gotonagle,

Here is an example that you can try out.

Hope this helps~

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

    <head>

        <title>Example</title>

        <style type="text/css" media="print">

            div.PageBreak

            {

                page-break-after:always

            }
 
            div.page

            { 

                writing-mode: tb-rl;

                height: 80%;

                margin: 10% 0%;

            }
 
            div.page table 

            {

                margin-right: 80pt;

                filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(Rotation=1);

            }

        </style>

    </head>

    <body>

        <p><h3>Print this!!</h3></p>

        Page one's orientation will be printed in portrait.

        <!--Page Break--> <div class="PageBreak"> </div> <!--Page Break-->
 
        <div class="page">

            Page two's orientation will be printed in landscape.

            <table border="1">

                <tr><td>A1</td><td>A2</td><td>A3</td><td>A4</td><td>A5</td></tr>

                <tr><td>B1</td><td>B2</td><td>B3</td><td>B4</td><td>B5</td></tr>

            </table>

        </div>

        <!--Page Break--> <div class="PageBreak"> </div> <!--Page Break-->
 
        Page three's orientation will be printed in portrait.

    </body>

Hi CroCrew,
Thanks for ur help. problem is solved in similar code but in little different way.
i m using it as here

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
table.landscape{

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(Rotation=1);

}
 
<TABLE width=98% align=center class="landscape" >

<tr>

<td>

<table>

<table>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</TABLE>

its because i have some nested tables also and if i rotate eveytable it will just give some 'horrible' output..:)

but now my problem is that when i print this page it gives me header-footer as per the portait mode. i wanted them to either come in landscape mode or removed. and this header footers are browsers setting. is there any script to remove this??
pls let me know..
Thanks again

Rahul.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
      Dim WSHShell

      Dim myHeader

      Dim myFooter

      Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

      myHeader = WSHShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header")

      myFooter = WSHShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer")
 
      WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", ""

      WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", ""
 
      Sub ResetHeader()

        Dim WSHShell

        Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

        WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", myHeader

        WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", myFooter

      End Sub

Well, if your target costumers are running Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser then you could try ScriptX from MeadCo: http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx/

The free version which doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the pay for version does still support printing orientation and header & footer settings and is freely distributable.

I will keep on looking...

gotonagle

thanks for your reply friend.
we think thats like overkilling to do like this. to just omit a header (which do not cause any harm) i m not going to do tjhis much.
and also my TL told me better to leave it as it is.
so now i am not worried about that now..
but YES..any cheaper solution u may have would be helpful for me.
Thanks again CrowCrew.

grateful to you
Rahul.
