This may do the trick!
<html>
<head>
<title>Landscape Printing</title>
<style type="text/css" media="print">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
This is a test<br>
This is a test
</div>
</body>
</html>

Just one more thing:
Please use descriptive titles, for your threads, otherwise people may look over it!

Hi. The code which you sent first works. But it prints the text within DIV tags alone. But if i have a TABLE within DIV then the table doesnt print in landscape. Even I tried to set class as page to Table tag also. It prints each line in TD tag in landscape instead of the table to print in landscape.

Help me pls. Thanks

Hi I got a sample from experts-exchange site in the following url.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/HTML/Q_20882755.html

This works fine. Do you have any idea to remove the Header and Footer during printing. Thanks

Hello again!
I'm glad that my first code I sent worked, I was a bit amazed when you said it didn't.. :thumb:
Anyhow, could perhaps send the code you got from Experts Exchange (Belive it or not I'm not subscribed there - so I can't see anything)

I will always try my best to help! :)

<html>
<head>
<title>Landscape Printing</title>
<style>
TD.NormalText {
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; FONT-SIZE: 14px
}
TD {
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; FONT-SIZE: 12px
}
</style>
<style>
@media print { .rotator {filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(Rotation=3)} }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<table border=1 class="rotator">

Hello again!
This will not print the print button
<html>
<head>
<title>Landscape Printing</title>
<style>
TD.NormalText {
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; FONT-SIZE: 14px
}
TD {
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; FONT-SIZE: 12px
}
</style>
<style>
@media print { .rotator {filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(Rotation=3)} }
</style>
<SCRIPT>

</SCRIPT></head>
<body onbeforeprint="printSetup()" onafterprint="printSetup()">
<div class="rotator">
<table border=1>
<tr><td class="page">This is a test</td></tr>
<tr><td class="page">This is a test</td></tr></table>


<SPAN id="noprint">
<BR><Input type = "button" name = "noprintBut" id="noprint" Value = "Print" onClick="window.print()">
</SPAN></table>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Have a look at the bolded lines, that causes the printer to ignore any element with the id of "noprint"

Hello Esther!
Me again!

Not sure what you mean :confused:

Here are some examples..
1) <select size="1" name="u_day">
<% ' Start a loop to create the days of the month
for counter = 1 to 31 %>
<option <% ' Select the current day to display
if counter = day(date()) then %> selected <%
end if %> value="<%= counter %>"><%= counter %></option>
<% next %>
</select>

2) <select size="1" name="u_year">
<% ' Start a loop to create the years prior and previous
for counter = 1998 to 2005 %>
<option <% ' Select the current year to display
if counter =year(date()) then %> selected <%
end if %> value="<%= counter %>"><%= counter %></option>
<% next %>
</select>
<input type="submit">
<% end if %>

3) <form action="<%= request.servervariables("script_name") %>" method="post">
<select size="1" name="u_month">
<% ' Start a loop to create the twelve months of the year
for counter = 1 to 12 %>
<option <% ' Select the current month to display
if counter = month(date()) then %> selected <%
end if %> value="<%= counter %>"><%= counter %></option>
<% next %>
</select>

Note:
If you are asking a complete different question, rather start a new thread ;)

No problem..
Try:
<% ' Start a loop to create the days of the month
for counter = day(date()) To day(date()) + 10 %>
<% ' Select the current day to display
Response.Write "11/" & CStr(counter) & "/2005" %>
<% next %>

If there is a Combo near a Menu then Menu gets hided that is the combo comes in front of the Menu. Is there any option to keep the Combo back while a the Menu is listed

HanneSThEGreaT

November 24th, 2005, 07:25 AM

Hello again Esther! Hope you are fine..

Where is this menu, is it on the web page itself or the normal menu bar at the top ¿

esther Princy

November 24th, 2005, 07:42 AM

hi hanne im fine and hope the same frm u....

The menu bar is in the webpage. whenever it is listed if there is any combo then the Combo comes in front an the menu is not seen properly.

HanneSThEGreaT

Ok, this one is a bit tough for me :blush:

The only way I can think of is to have the menu and the combobox in different layers, then you could set the layer's z-index properties when needed, have a look here (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/2001/05/25/layers_partone.html), hopefully it's useful!

PS. sorry I didn't PM you back the other time, I've gone through a bad time
