Printer Friendly version

System

Does anyone have an easy way to create a printer friendly version of a template page? I have created a way but was wondering if anyone has another way. the way I did it is create a hidden form element with the stuff I want printed, and called a JavaScript function that builds a page with that info by calling that hidden form element. I ran into major problems with " 's if they existed in the value of the hidden field, but got around that.

Just checking if anyone knows any other ways to do this.

I wanted to do this without creating a new page and having to worry about getting that link correct and also just creating new pages that might never be used.

Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi trum,

here is our approach to this problem:

just create another presentation template, which creates a printer friendly site.
Within the "main" presentation template you call iwptcompile to compile the printer friendly presentation template and create the HTML page.
Within the "main" presentation template you can then insert a link to the generated page.

Cheers
