print media

Hi,

I have just discovered CSS (yes, I’m new to web development!) and it’s brilliant! I have got a page that I have divided into four using the <div> tags. a header, footer, left hand menu section and a main display section.

Now – This looks great on screen. But how do I go about making a printable version? I am happy to put a link in the bottom corner somewhere saying “printable version” or something but I don’t really want it to print the menu. Just some of the header, the main display area and the footer details.

I am aware of the @media functions of CSS. So I guess my question is largely stylistic. Can I use one style sheet which will avoid the need for a printable version of each page? Am I able to use this style sheet to exclude form the printing certain items of the header and footer?

Does any of this make sense?

I have a website – [url]www.p-c-a.co.uk[/url] which my new site will replace. I am in the early stages of producing a new page template which is at [url]www.p-c-a.co.uk/template.htm[/url]
and my stylesheet is [url]www.p-c-a.co.uk/pcastyle.css[/url]

Thanks.
