Hi,
I need to be able to print from a browser and thought that I would use the
media type "print" to create a printer layout. The problem that I have is
that I need to be able to suppress the page number and the URL that are
automatically printed with the page. Does anyone know if this is possible
and how to do that?
Thanks

Not as page author, no. You can do it as page reader if you use Mozilla.
I'm not sure if any other browsers support configuration of page headers
and footers.

Unfortunately I thought that was probably the case, but thanks anyway.

IE6 and Opera (7.22, but I'm pretty sure much older versions also allow
it). | |

don't forget to warn the visitor or give them the option of not using
it. they may get a little upset if they expect what they see in their
window to print but get something else.

How is this most easily done? Without Javascript? | |

just link the document to itself with a querystring thrown on the end to
indicate to a server side script to change the CSS from the one you use
for the display to the one for print. if the visitor likes it they can
then hit their print button or their back button for the display version
and print it.
Without Javascript?
of course without JS.

!! There was me looking for it under Preferences in Opera and concluding
it wasn't available. I suppose Print Options is indeed a more logical
place ...
If IE6 can do it as well, then I guess the OP can assume that most of
his audience have the facility available if they want it.

First, thanks to all for responding to my original question.
It looks like page footers, headers and page margins can be set manually in
most recent browsers but not with stylesheets. Does anyone know if it is
possible to control these with javascript. My assumption is that it is not
but it would be useful if that assumption turned out to be wrong.
