Printer Friendly Problem 1

[danima]

This may be a bit vague, however, I have an on-line football pool that provides all participants with full standings and a "view all" option to see everyone's picks. Of course, now everyone wants to print it out...but in a printer friendly version.

The entire site is databased (MySQL/PHP) and for some reason the simple Printer Friendly scripts I use within an HTML document, don't seem to work in this environment.

Any ideas? Again, sorry for being vague...

Hi mate,

Without seeing your code there isn't really much I can say.

It sounds like this is just a single page that they will be printing, if so then the best way to make a printer friendly version would be to pass a string in the url and then within your page, check to see if this exists, if so then hide certain parts.

Hope this helps

Thanks...I'll give it a shot.

with CSS it's usually pretty simple to make an automatic print-friendly page (if you are already using CSS you mightn't even have to touch your .html page) using media="print" in the linked stylesheet.

Search the HTML & CSS forum for media print, or google it.
