Printing shared borders content

Using FP2002. I have web pages themed with the left shared border displaying
the navigation structure. My Browsers want to be able to print out the web
pages without showing those navigation buttons.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how this might get done.

Thanks

Matt

This is ugly but...

1. Create a new blank page.
2. Cut everything but the shared border content out of
your existing page.
3. Paste all this content into the new blank page.
4. Save the new, formerly blank page.
5. Use an include page component to add the original
content back into the original page.
6. Add a "Printer-Friendly Version" link to the original
page, pointing of course to the new page.

Or for IE only you could try CSS media

In the HEAD section of all your pages add

<style type="text/css" MEDIA="print">.noprint {display: none;}</style>

Then build your shared border nav in a table and add the class to the nav bar table

<div align="left" class="noprint">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr>
<td><!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Orientation="vertical" S-Rendering="graphics" S-Type="top" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" --></td>
</tr></tbody></table>
</div
