Killing Frames?

The situation is that I have my HTML resume hosted by my university on their fancy-dancy ASP profile management system.

When it's displayed, however, it puts a frame with the school's logo at the top of the screen. This is fine for onscreen, but when it prints, you only get page one.

I put some effort into making my resume printer-friendly, what with setting pt measurements and serif fonts... now I'm a little annoyed. I asked them about it, but it doesn't seem like they're able to easily change that page. The answer was: Make your resume < 1 page.

Is there any tricky bit of HTML/CSS that will fix this problem, when I don't control the FRAMESET?yes. read up on print stylesheets (google?). Then consider putting the logo onto your page, applying display: none; in your normal stylesheet and display: inline; in your print stylesheet.

I've seen the article before, and several of those techniques are implemented. The issue is that it's a frameset document that refuses to break over pages.

I don't control the frameset, and I don't control the top frame, only the bottom frame with my resume in it.Quick and dirty. Put this in your body onload:

if (window != top) top.location.href = <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/window.location.href;Originally">http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archi ... Originally</a><!-- m --> posted by ray326

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid I'm not allowed to use javascript... I had hoped there might be some special css attributes specific to print media.

Well, thanks guys. *reorganizes resume so that most important info appears at top*if you run through your print options there should be something in there (something like which frame to print, whether to just print what's onscreen etc).
