Printable Content

[Jonathan Wood]

I noticed that some sites will display content and have a Print link that
will display the same content but without all the unneeded graphics and
colors.

Anyone here ever implemented this? I know you can do something like this
with CSS but I've got all sorts of navigation, etc. stuff on the page that
shouldn't be included. I also realize I can create a second page from
scratch without the unneeded stuff. Just wondering if anyone knew any
tricks.

Thanks.

Maybe you can use the CSS media property. Google "css media" for more
information.

Hello Jonathan,

As was noted, you need to use CSS media content.
You can find sample there http://aspnetresources.com/articles/..._friendly.aspx

One of the ways is to handle javascript events onbeforeprint and
onafterprint where you can hide/show parts of your page with javascript as
you wish.
