texte = Are you talking about forcing the visitor of your site to print the page? My suspicions are that you would have to wade through a lot of javascript and vbscript code to come up with something that works even remotely consistent across many browsers. I would be interested as well in how to most compatibly implement script based printing of the browser window. In an all Microsoft world it is easy. But there are all kinds of users to please in the DMZ and the ones running Mosaic 2.0 are usually also the most vocal.Mike Davis Network 13, Inc. ---------- >From: The Mooseman
