Print specific info

[Charl]

Hi All,

I am designing printer friendly page for my website and would like to
know if there is a way to add a next and print button to the web page
but it should not show on my print out.

Thanks

Create a stylesheet for the printer.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />

Use display:none; for unwanted objects

Are you using CSS? If so, you could add a print-specific style sheet that
changes the buttons' display property to "none".

In your page:

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

In your CSS:
..printhide
{
display: none;
}

The print stylesheet has already been addressed, but a "next button"?
Next what?

and print button to the web page
but it should not show on my print out.

The browser has one, at least all the modern ones! Why would you need to
add one? To do so requires JavaScript.

This might be debatable but personally I like a print button on a page
that needs to be printed (confirmaton page or route planner etc)

It's on the browser, and it is not valid unless your have hit the back
button first!

1) requires JavaScript enabled (it I put one on a page I firstly insert
"link|button" with JavaScript so it will not appear when not available
and secondly make not printable in CSS)

2) How about <p>[Print this page for your records]</p> ?
2a) Send client a receipt email (what I do) for his records
automatically...

For browsers that support it there is also

6.12 Link types

But most likely that's not what the OP wants ...

It also requires a browser that supports JS-invoked printing.
Most do, but not all.

I like them and use them, but OP's UA is

UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727),gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe)

I am sure he is totally unaware of their existence and therefore did not
mention them. Also PITA to statically code them, server-side CMS it is a
breeze...

It also requires a browser that supports JS-invoked printing.
Most do, but not all.

Hence my opposition to the idea.
