Printing HTML or ASP.NET Page

RE: Printing HTML or ASP.NET Page

hello,

these details are added in the browser preferences...
(File => page setup)
and you can't change it with regular web scripting unfortunately.

you can buy a third party activex object though to aid you with this problem.
for example:

Introduction to Client-side Printing | ScriptX a better way to print

http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx/docs/printdoc.htm

Whether you're new to ScriptX or in the process of migrating an existing ScriptX.Add-on application to ScriptX.Services these guides will get you started.

RE: Printing HTML or ASP.NET Page

Hi interwanderer,

I don't have that much money to buy the third party ActiveX object. I see
the link before but as I wrote above money is the problem.

I also find this small script:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/vbscript">
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("W Script.Shell")
myHeader = WSHShell.RegRea d("HKCU\Softwar e\Microsoft\Int ernet
Explorer\PageSe tup\header")
myFooter = WSHShell.RegRea d("HKCU\Softwar e\Microsoft\Int ernet
Explorer\PageSe tup\footer")

WSHShell.RegWri te "HKCU\Software\ Microsoft\Inter net
Explorer\PageSe tup\header", ""
WSHShell.RegWri te "HKCU\Software\ Microsoft\Inter net
Explorer\PageSe tup\footer", ""

Sub ResetHeader()
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("W Script.Shell")

WSHShell.RegWri te "HKCU\Software\ Microsoft\Inter net
Explorer\PageSe tup\header", myHeader
WSHShell.RegWri te "HKCU\Software\ Microsoft\Inter net
Explorer\PageSe tup\footer", myFooter
End Sub
</script>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I place the script end of the </head> tag and above the body tag. I am
trying to show where I placed it in above line:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<head>
.....
.....
.....

above script

</head>

<body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:.5in'>
....
.....
.....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when I try to click print button it doesn't print. I allow the code to
run due to security bar that appears on top of the page but still no printing
and and the bottom of the tray icon area my printer shows some error.

Do you know how to use the above script to run the page and when user press
the PRINT button that it will print without the header and footer information.

Thank you very much for kind understanding.

Rgds,
GC

Re: Printing HTML or ASP.NET Page

Hi John

I saw the article before. But I dont know how to use the CSS. And I am not
familar with html or ASP.NET.

I was created big windows base client server application and I am only
programmer and my boss keep giving me new assignment.

As I wrote before we have 15 forms that user must fill few text boxes and
print irt like word pages. My boss want to put all the 15 forum into intranet
so user can fill the forum and then they must print the forum that our
coustemer can sign in signature area.

I try last night the deletring header and footer section via code that I
posted before
and it worked well. But when I printed I can see the square that was the
text boxes.

The CSS might be good to over come this difficulties but I haven't used it
before.
Now my major problem is how to disable the visibility of the text boxe
squares.

I thank you for your kind comment on my problem. I will try to study the CSS
article that you posted the link but I guess it must be very good to me if I
can find live demo or example that shows clearly how to Print HTML with CSS.

Thank you.

Rgds,
GC

WSHShell.RegWri te "HKCU\Software\ Microsoft\Inter net
Explorer\PageSe tup\margin_righ t", myMargin_Right

End Sub
</script>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in my Rset and Print button has this code:

<input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="Reset"
onClick="ResetH eader()">

<input name="Print" type="submit" id="Print" value="Print"
onclick="PrintM e()">

But It doesnot Print nor Reset the html page. In html page I have few
textBoxes and there are no form object.

The error are:
- Type Mismatch PrintMe()
- Type Mismatch ResetHeader()

Does anyone knows how to over come from this problem?

I thank you in advance for your future help.

Rgds,
GC
