How did they do that? – Page printing looses loads of navigation

I’ve just been looking at the HSBC graduate recruitment page.

When I then went to a print preview (which works slightly better in Explorer than Mozilla, but still with the same idea) a load of the left hand navigation content is automatically removed from the page and a few other bits are slightly rejigged.

Was that using css, or javascript, …? And if you do understand it, can you tell me how I might be able to replicate the same idea to remove a load of my page navigation stuff automatically on printing?

@FangJun 10.2005 — With css, add something like this to your css file or make a seperate file.
@media print {
html, body {background:#fff;}
#menu, #footer {display:none;border:0;}
#page {width:50em;}
}
Or <link rel="StyleSheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print">

Success!
