Ok I have a page that has a link that will open a print version page on top of that window. I want to put a back button on the print version page, but I don't want the back button to print.

How would I go about that.

This is the code for the print version window.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Print page<TITLE>
<BODY onload = "printForm()">
<center>
Body stuff.......
<form>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="EXIT" VALUE="Exit"
onClick = "canit();">
</form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function printForm(){
window.print();
window.close();
}
function canit()
{
document.close();
window.top.location="

http://www.thepagebeforethisone.html";

{
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks as always for your expertise!!!!!,

Scott

try using a href instead of a button - this won't reload the page = it won't print the page (as the page prints when it loads)

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Print page<TITLE>
<BODY onload = "printForm()">
<center>
Body stuff.......

<a href="

http://www.thepagebeforethisone.html"

target=top> click me to exit </a>
...
or alternatively you can change both locations in the canit function (top and current) - so that current frame load another page - thus won't reload = won't print

Thanks for your reply, but I already have that code in place. What I am trying to do is hide the href or button if you will from being printed. I want it to be visible and functional but not printed on the paper report.

Thanks again for your help,

Scott

ok ! i didn't understand your explanation !!
just use the @media tag froom css and specify that the layer/div/whatever containing the button has to be hidden when media=print
