Hi all,
I need some help. I have the index html page which has many <a> tags linking to other html pages. There is a need to create the printer friendly page by putting the contents of index file and also other html files in a single page without using Javascript.
I have read the article from this URL http://www.boxesandarr ows.com/view/printing_the_we b, and it seems like I can use CSS to do it, but I still have no idea about it yet.
Can any one give me some example how to do it? Thank you for any help in advance.
Cheers,

I have read the article from this URL http://www.boxesandarr ows.com/view/printing_the_we b, and it seems like I can use CSS to do it, but I still have no idea about it yet.
You misunderstand the article. Let’s say I am at a webpage, with all this text in the middle. There’s ad banners, pretty pictures, backgrounds, and what not too. When I print the page, I just want the text. I don’t want color backgrounds, ink intensive ads, and so on. CSS allows you to target stylesheets at specific media (screen, text to speech readers, and printers). So the article is essentially telling you to create a stylesheet, targeted for print, that restyles the page in a manner appropriate for printing.
While that rule of thumb still applies to you, it actually doesn’t deal with your question. You want to, given a page, take the contents of that page, and every page it links to, take the contents, and put them together. This is no longer in the realm of HTML and CSS, which are client side, structural markup and stylesheet languages. In your case, you have some arbitrary logic to follow. You need to write a computer program that runs on the server to do this.
Now, if you don’t already have an idea of what language you might use, etc., at this point I would say, you can’t accomplish your idea.

i think your best bet would be to create a pdf-document that contains all the content at serverside ... you might use PHP, JSP or any other serverside language for this. I'm not quite sure whether some XML/XSLT-magic could be used here alternativly to create PDF or something similar?
kind regards

Hi,
I'm implementing a printer friendly feature for all the pages on a web site.
I'm separating the header, content, and footer into separate ascx files,
which are contained in the main file. In the mail file I have a link button
which, supposedly, when clicked on, passes the current content page's url and
page title to the printer friendly page, which has a placeholder for the
content page. I could do this with session variables, but...

Dear Experts,
I've got a trouble problem that I need your help. The scenario is the
following:
1) I need to add a "Print" button to my web page;
2) by clicking this button, the web page should be able to print out a
well-formatted web page (printer friendly ). That means, I need to adjust the
printing margins (left, top, right, bottom) programmatically.
I really have no idea on how to achieve this but I know this is a very

Can any one help me out?
I am looking out to implement printer friendly version of a web page.
I do not want the header and footer show up in the print and I do not want
to use frames (it is a client decision). I want to avoid writing the code
again to make the printer friendly.
Is there any way which would allow me to make the developer friendly page
without lot of additional duplicate work.
Thanks in advance.

Apparently one can use JavaScript or CSS for this....
Using CSS, it seems that the "trick" is to use * media="print" * in

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
