Page Orientation

[wtuck]

I want to default my print orientation to landscape when a user try to
print some of my webpages and to portrait for other. It should not be
necessary for the user to chnage it.

Is this possible?

Thanks

You cannot. The 'size' property in CSS could be used, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/page.html#page-size-prop
if only it had been implemented in browsers.

It should not be
necessary for the user to chnage it.

You cannot even know whether the user's browser and printer are capable of
printing in landscape orientation and in portrait orientation.

Is this possible?

No.

MeadCo's ScriptX ActiveX control is the only way I know to do this.
Easy to use, but not portable outside Windows IE (as far as I know)

Thank God!
