Making Non-printing Images? 1

[okiiyama]

Is there an attribute that I can set so that certain images on a web page will not print but will be visible on the screen? I don't want to make a seperate printing copy.

Thanks in Advance.

No. What you can do is set the image as a background in a container, and then display a clear image the same size over the top of it. Many sites do this, including imdb.com, so people can't easily click on and download pictures of their movies. With the image as a background, the "clear" image will print nothing. This won't work if someone has the browser set to print background images, but otherwise will do what you asked.

You can also use style sheets to considerably change the way your site prints. See this thread:
