Hi all,
What are the best practices for printer friendly pages? Also when we write a JSP should we also have another printer friendly copy of the JSP or are there other ways of doing it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Printer friendly web pages can be configured by using a css file for deciding the layout of the print copy of your web page.

The code below shows how to link the css and the attributes required.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/print.css" media="print"/>

The print.css has the definitions of the styles for the html elements which you want to print.

You can google on printer friendly web pages for more help.

Not much to do with JSP, so moving off to the HTML/Javascript forum.
