thanx=)<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
@media print {
* {
display: none !important;
}
#show {
display: block !important;
}
}
/*]]>*/
</style><div id="show">I will only be printed.</div>you are a GENIUS where did you get so good... mmmmmNo problem.
one quick ques. though. will my code look like this? sorry if it looks confusin, im using this in an email form
$mailbody.="/*<![CDATA[*/\n";
$mailbody.="@media print {\n";
$mailbody.="* {\n";
$mailbody.="display: none !important;\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
$mailbody.="#app-page {\n";
$mailbody.="display: block !important;\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
$mailbody.="/*]]>*/\n";
$mailbody.="#app-page {\n";
$mailbody.="width: 8.5in;\n";
$mailbody.="height: 11in;\n";
$mailbody.="background-color: #ffffff; \n";
$mailbody.="padding: 1in 1.5in 1in 1.5in;\n";
$mailbody.="margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
or like this:
$mailbody.="/*<![CDATA[*/\n";
$mailbody.="@media print {\n";
$mailbody.="* {\n";
$mailbody.="display: none !important;\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
$mailbody.="#app-page {\n";
$mailbody.="display: block !important;\n";
$mailbody.="width: 8.5in;\n";
$mailbody.="height: 11in;\n";
$mailbody.="background-color: #ffffff; \n";
$mailbody.="padding: 1in 1.5in 1in 1.5in;\n";
$mailbody.="margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
$mailbody.="}\n";
$mailbody.="/*]]>*/\n";Both look alright (you should probably go with the latter one, though). Note, however, it should be in-between a <style> tag or inside an external CSS file and then referenced somehow.would i need any special JS code to print it?
or would a normal printfunction work :

Code:
<html>
<head>
<LINK REL="StyleSheet" HREF=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"style/home.css" TYPE="text/css">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function printWindow() {
bV = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (bV >= 4) window.print();
}
// End -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"javascript:printWindow()">Print This Page</a>
</body>That should work just fine. ;)Thank you, you have been very helpful.
but ive run into a problem. the JS calls to print a window, how do i print an outlook express .eml?No problem. I wouldn't worry about it too much if the script doesn't work correctly due to the fact that Outlook and any other mail client (e.g., Mozilla Thunderbird) likely has a File » Print feature of some sort rendering the script useless.what part of the print layer code would I put in my external CSS?
...and how do I reference it to print that particular layer?
Thanks,
Robert
