printer friendly version
Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 10:33 am
I have come across a million web sites that offer a "printer friendly" version of some of the pages. Most of them take you to a new page with a print button on them that you can click to print what's on the screen using window.print() I'm sure....however I came across one the other day (maybe mapquest...cant' remember for sure) where I clicked the print button and my pritner dialogue popped up and I clicked print like a good little boy, but when I ran to the print device I was pleasantly surprised to see ONLY THE INFO I WANTED! I'm wondering how in they did this? could it be they had a hidden Iframe or something on the page and then printed just that frame with all of the goods?
if anyone has some ideas / suggestions as to how to make a "good" printer friendly version, please shed some light.
