Creating a Printable Page

Hi Raphael,

You can do this a few ways.

The best way is to create a separate style sheet for the print media. This will allow you to have the exact same web page, but when it's sent to the printer, it will appear differently.

For a good tutorial, visit the Adobe Dreamweaver site here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/screen_to_print.html

It says you'll need Dreamweaver MX 2004, but you should be able to apply the information given for any version of Dreamweaver.

Another way is, if you're using dynamic pages, allow the visitor to click a link, returning them to the same page, but with a GET variable (eg. index.php?printable=true)

Then check at the top of every page if the variable has been passed through and display the page differently.

However, I would strongly recommend you use the CSS method as this will be much easier to manage.

Regards, Rich
