Printing a webpage

M

Ma

How do I create a webpage that will be seen the same on any monitor resolution but that will also print all the test. The one I have now does not print the far right side of page?

you can use cascading style sheets to give both good screen and print
results in most modern browsers. the aspect ratio of a computer screen and
a sheet of paper "portrait view" are much different.
if you go to my site and look at any page just hit file/ print preview
(internet explorer 6?) you'll see it's totally different. there are no
graphics or side menus, just the content if you can call it that. ;-)

what is it exactly you're trying to do?

that'd work fine and since I've got acrobat 6.0 pro I could easily do this
but I'd still edit it so the nav bar and side menus wouldn't show up.
when I consider that I'd have to make a PDF of every current page and future
page and maintain links to them. the css just makes more sense. after the
initial style sheets (they're not exemplary in any way but they work) were
made every page that comes off the template will look good in print.

Wrap your nav in DIV tags and apply a noprint style to the div or you nav buttons
Create a style
<style type="text/css" MEDIA="print">.noprint {display: none;}</style>
Apply the class Using
<div class="noprint"> ... </div>
or
<img class="noprint" name="home" id="home" border="0" src="images/......" alt="..." align="middle" hspace="5" width="90"
height="20">

An Example using it is at

Just as a ps to this - when you use a print stylesheet it's always a good
idea to add !important to the rules just to make sure that your print styles
will always win out over any other rules defined for the element. A print
stylesheet is still part of the cascade and as such it's rules won't
automatically take priority over rules in your screen stylesheet. Important
makes sure they always will.

<style type="text/css" MEDIA="print">.
..noprint{
display:none !important;
}
</style>

The website I am referring to is floridacontractors.net There is a registration page under Continuing Education that contractors need to complete, print and fax. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I am new to FrontPage and am grasping at straws to help my son. I have used the 800x600 resolution to make web pages and when I look at it in 1024 it is much smaller. I tried this on Microsoft's web site and it stays the same - the print is just smaller. How tdo you do that. He needs his site to look professional but at moment it doesn'e. HELP!!!! I hope that this makes sense. Thanks for your time.

The print and page looks smaller at the larger resolution because it "occupies" less of
the available screen space. This is normal.

The problem is that you have used the space bar to position elements, images and such in
the page. You need to remove all of those spaces and use the align right , align center ,
align left icons on the toolbar by clicking once on the image or text and then clicking
the appropriate alignment icon.

since you've got a page, it'd be very easy for me to just PDF it and there
you go. acrobat 6 pro has a little dropdown button in the internet explorer
tool bar that lets you convert any web page (with slightly varying success)
into a PDF. the PDF will give you consistent prints.

Sir Chris is correct, everyone and their brother are going to PDF files.

You can use Click to PDF
http://www.bluesquirrel.com/download/Click2PDFSetup.exe

or

PDF 995
pdf995.zip

Once you have installed the Apple LaserWriter Driver install PDF995.

Note: The Printer Wizard may require the Windows CD. You may need to browse
to the folder on the CD containing files named driver#.cab. The driver#.cab
files contain the necessary files. They can often be found in the "Setup" or
"Win9x" folder.
