I am setting up pages that are meant to be printed out. I want each page to have a heading, in this case it will be my company logo and letterhead. Is there special code for doing this so that the header will always be at the top of the pages on both IE and Netscape?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
cmotor<!--content-->Put the letter head at the top of the document... you could use <br />
<img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"logo" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px"><br />
if you wish<!--content-->Yeah, that works great when it's a one page printout. I want the logo/letterhead to at the top even when I am printing several pages. The logo/letterhead should be at the top of each page.<br />
<br />
Hope this is more clear.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the reply.<br />
cmotor<!--content-->oh, I gotcha... That is a problem now isnt it, It depends on a users printer too like the paper and the margins he has set so huh... Thats tricky.<!--content-->Technologies are designed to do a certain job in a certain way. To make it do something else is usually difficult if not impossible. I don't believe HTML was ever designed for paged media. CSS gives you much more control, but not total. Adobe Acrobat, on the other had, is designed for paged media and is fairly common on the Web. If a paged document is the desired output then you may find Acrobat a more useful tool than HTML.<!--content-->yes make an acrobat Download <!--more--> for the users and they can print it from there.<!--content-->The CSS2 specification came out back in 1998. And it has a whole section on paged media. On the whole, however, users insist on using that piece of dung MSIE which ignores that part of CSS2.<br />

When I want to provide a printer friendly version of something I start with the page in good old accessible XHTML 1.1 and then use XSL:FO to transform it into PDF.<!--content-->yup, everybody beat me to it! Make a PDF version of the pages for Download <!--more-->ing. If you are on a Mac you can make a PDF from any application in the print dialog box (Save as PDF), otherwie you will require 3rd party software as stated above.<!--content-->
