Hi,

It seems that everyone has headers and footers enabled on there browser.
I am creating on online database that prints quotes and invoices for our
staff. Is it possible to remove the Headers and Footers when printing
documents? My guess it that the users will want them to be left on for
other print outs. So is it possible to make it page specific? (maybe
adding a little HTML/DHTML/JAVA script)

No. That's a browser setting.

No. Nothing the author can/should do.

If you're talking about the info that the browser adds (page address,
date printed, et al), then in most cases, yes. That is the factory
default.

Change the printer settings in your browser.

For IE:
http://developer.irt.org/script/1437.htm
example:
http://www.codestore.net/store.nsf/u...N?OpenDocument

So, what about everyone else? 1 in 10 people dont use IE.

It also won't work for any IE user who, quite sensibly, doesn't allow
random ActiveX controls to be run.

He did say that it was 'staff' so maybe he can be certain that only IE
users with JavaScript and ActiveX permitted will use this facility.
Poor them.

That means a solution for 90%. The other 10% will see a header and footer on
the print. No real problem I think.
But it's probably not relevant in this case. The OP mentioned ' for our
staff.'
(Do you have a better solution

Think about things other than the web:

What happens when you, for instance, fax a quote to somebody. You get a fax
header and, sometimes, a footer.

So...what is the big problem with a web header?

Yes. I wouldn't bother at all. The printer is to do with the
OS/Browser/Local configuration and not under the control of a web page
what so ever. Even if it is on an Intranet. What if the user had a
super-duper colour printer set up as their default printer (say for
PhotoShop) and used a simple b&w one for regular prints. Along comes
your fancy web site that prints to the WRONG printer. No thanks.

In real life it's a customer who bothers.

My advice was concerning resetting the header and footer. Not printer
selection. Works fine for customers who print official documents like
invoices from a website. The regular header and footer would be totally
unacceptable.
