The only way to reliably generate printable data cross-platform that I am aware of is PDF... Fortunately, PHP *can* generate PDF files... Whether you want to make it possible to convert the content in question to PDF or not, I dunno... Is it for every page of your site or specific documents or ??? For sure, you *CANNOT* take over *my* computer and change *MY* settings for what *I* want on my Header:/Footer: of Web documents. That simply ain't gonna happen. But if you just need a couple reports printable, it is not too terribly tricky to generate PDF files for them. Hell, I figured it out, so it can't be *too* tricky. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
