Hello,

Our company has a website that contains a online mail in order form
inside a layer. I want to be able to only print the order form. What
do I need to do? The link is posted below.

Thanks for your time.

Create a file named print.css on your root folder with this content
..hidden {visibility: hidden ;}

In the <head> of your HTML, add
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />

In the body of your html, place everything *except* the form in <div
class="hidden"> like this:
<div class="hidden">
<!-- HTML that is before the form -->
</div>

<div>
<!-- <form> in here -->
</div>

<div class="hidden">
<!-- HTML that is after the form -->
</div>

This will hide everything except the form but only when printing
 
Create a file named print.css on your root folder with this content
..hidden {visibility: hidden ;}

Thanks Trevor,

I'm very new to this. I'll go one line at a time. When you say content do
you mean the "order form"? How do I make the visibility :hidden?
 
Create a page w/ just your order "form" as say order.htm
Then on the main page include that form page
(FP include page - Insert Web Component Include Page)
- and then create a link to the printable form page (order.htm)

That will work but it may make for a pretty messy page.

Also, don't put layers into table cells! Grrr.... 8) I see three of them
like that on this page.

Fair comment , Muuray

To be quite honest, I didn't look too closely at the page the OP referred us
to.

I just gave a solution which I was farily sure would work.

Stefan's suggestion of an include page is neater. Of course, because my
server doesn't support SSI, I didn't think of that.

I understand FP will still copy include pages into one's web for servers
without SSI, but I haven't tried it yet. (One reason I haven't made much
effort to remove the frames from my site - replacing them by includes would
mean relying on FP to update my pages, whereas I do a lot of updating in my
favourite text editor, UltraEdit.)
 
FYI: FP Includes are not SSI, they are included when the page is saved.

Trevor, it's time both you and your host came into the 21st century. Get
SSI, and dump those frames! 8)
