Another option is to make the printable page an include page (within in a richer page w/ the nav etc) w/ a link to it or as a popup
And w/ JavaScript you can do a page search

|
| Basically, there are three approaches:
|
| 1. Copy your page to another file, then edit that file
| until it prints as you want.
|
| 2. If your page uses a CSS style sheet, add a block
| to it such as the following.
| @media print {
| ... print-specific css rules go here ...
| }
| Then, inside this block, set or override any CSS
| rules that should apply only to printed output.
| For example, the rule:
| .noprint {display: none;}
| suppresses printing of any tag you code with the
| attribute class="noprint"
|
| 3. If it's more convenient to use separate style
| sheet files, code the <link> tag for the print
| stylesheet with media="print". Here's an example:
| <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
| href="styles.css">
| <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
| href="print.css" media="print">
|

| >how would I set it up? (Would this be a ".bot", and if
| >so, does that mean I would have to publish the entire web
| >rather than simple FTP??)
|
| What kind of search do you have in mind?
|
| If you mean the kind of search that you get by choosing
| Find (On This Page) from the Edit menu in IE, I don't
| believe that's possible.
|
| If you want to do a Web Search against a folder that
| contains only one Web page, I guess you could do that, but
| I can't imagine why you'd want to.
|
| Or do you not want a search at all, but just a hyperlink
| that jumps from one part of the page to another?
