html javascript print command

hi,
im new to this group but ill be direct to the point.

im tryin to create a simple webpage that will print the contents of
the webpage to a printer on a client side machine.

i know the command is ' window.print() ' and that i can have it in
the ' onload() ' statement so that the print dialouge appears prior to
printing.

here my question. how do i eliminate the Header and Footer information
that is automatically generated by the webpage?(i.e. the website name
at the top, and the location url at the bottom)

any help appreciated.

regards

rak

I wouldn't recommend it. Folks who browse the web expect to *see* a page
when it loads, if they want to print it they will click print from their
browser. Anyway what if they don't have a printer? Maybe they are view
the page from on of those iPhones...

You cannot, those are user settings on the browser. You cannot script them.

First, create a style like this ...




Next, whenever you are serving something that you don't want to be printed,
place it in a paragraph like this ...
(this is my print button by the way)

style="width:250px;height:50px;">  PRINT  

Now, when you run the page, and you click the button, then everything thats
NOT within a 'dontprintme' paragraph will not be printed.

NOT within a 'dontprintme' paragraph WILL be printed.

Ah, but what OP want to excluded is not part of his web page that he
composed but the URL and date and page numbers that is added by the
browser by default. This is a user setting on the browser and is not
controllable by the web author...at least with HTML and CSS

The easiest way for the OP to achieve this would be to PDF it.
