  • Formating the print this page button

    Is there away to format the print this page script so that it will force all printers to print the form in the landscape format? I am using the following code.
    <SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
    function printit(){
    if (window.print) {
    window.print() ;
    } else {
    var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
    document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
    WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
    }
    }
    </script>
    <SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
    var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape");
    var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
    if (VERSION > 3) {
    document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>');
    }
    </script>
    I keep telling parent to print it in landscape but they just don't get it.

    nope, its up to the individuals printer .. gosh you cant control everything .. hee hee

    consider redoing your form in the standard way of doing things .. even if it is two pages .. or shrink it .. etc.

      Thanks Holly, I did go back and remake the page so that it is now oriented so that the user can just print it without changing anything.
