Printing pages Can't Post
Hello,
I want to be able to let viewers print a page. Only the title and content area need to print. Since the program uses frames, the typical print button doesn't print the correct frame. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Robert,

I found a little javascript widget for you from http://javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/print-frame.html. Here are the instructions:
  1. Paste this code into the Head of the _doc_page.html template:
    		Code
     <script>  
    // (C) 2004 www.CodeLifter.com  
    // Free for all users, but leave in this header  
    function framePrint(whichFrame){  
    parent[whichFrame].focus();  
    parent[whichFrame].print();  
    }  
    </script>
  2. Paste this code into the BODY of of the _doc_page.html template:
    		Code
     <a href="javascript:framePrint('content');">  
    Click Here to Print  
    </a>
Works like a charm. :)

A tidy solutiont to the frames problem! Thanks alot! One minor note: it doesn't work when browsing from my Mac. But Mac users are used to being left out. There is another soloution using PHP that is a little more complicated. I have not implemented it but the script can be found at http://www.mikenew.net/printfriendly.php

Thanks again.
