RE: Printing

[Jeff S. <js...@en...>]

Actually, I'm going to be administering SQL-Ledger remotely and would like
to print to the default queue on the server, so the "PRINT" buttons on the
forms would be nice if they printed locally instead of just invoking my
browser's print function.

I have a number of workarounds for this, but I just wanted to double-check
and make sure that those "PRINT"  buttons don't do anything (or maybe they
do and my install is just screwed up).

Definitely agree on the merits of CSS, but I agree more strongly with the
old "beggars can't be choosers" adage ;)

Thanks,

-Jeff

actually, you can use the print button of your browser,
but you don't want the form's buttons to print right ?

the easy solution for this is to use css to define a
non printable class, like this:

@media print {
    .noprint {   /* items with this class won't print */
        display: none;
    }
}

then you modify the source to include
<div class=noprint>
..... <form's buttons> .....
</div>

hey, you even can define things that don't
display on screen but print

@media screen {
    .noscreen {   /* items with this class won't display */
        display: none;
    }
}

it would be good for sql-ledger to use more css...
