You are not implementing it correctly..please try to take a look at the lineof code I posted.

you are using Capital P as compare to small p????

@PselusauthorJun 12.2003 — riddle me this:

when printing a webpage there are 4 items which show in the margins: The page title, the page number, the date and the webpage address.....is there any way for me to control this and make sure that one (or all) of these items do not appear?

@Khalid_AliJun 12.2003 — I think you are talking about page setup settings.

On IE6+

Click on file

then select "Page Setup"

@PselusauthorJun 12.2003 — so there isn't a way to take away the url dynamically?

I don't want the url to disappear on every printout from IE.....just the ones from my site.


btw....forgive my idiocy....I'm a VB.Net programmer :p

@Khalid_AliJun 12.2003 — Thats allright...

.Net programmers are cool(cus of C# *_*)

JavaScript has its limitation as far as its allowed to access system resources.It can not make any changes to the browser or system settings.

@megavogelAug 14.2003 — Dear all...

I wonder if someone did this for MAC users? I did a lot of stuff for Windows users where printing is always an issue.

The command window.print() is working within all IE's on

Windows but how is it on IE on a MAC? I tried to fire the

command on a MAC and nothing did happen. Is there

a different command for MAC users or is it just not possible

to display a printing dialoge on IE + MAC?

Thanks to everybody !

Dan?
