Hi folks,

I am opening a new window to display info (ie6) that I may want the user to print, without seeing the annoying url info etc at the bottom of each page. I am aware that css "media" properties may do the trick, but I cant figure out how to implement or whether I can achieve this with window properties instead.

I want to eliminate these :-

i) At Top of each page RHS I see - Page 1 , etc......
ii) At Bottom of each pg I see -
http://localhost/mysite/page_xyz.cfm?....

This is the window opening code I am using (note status=no)

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var str = "left=300,screenX=300,top=300,screenY=300";
if (window.screen) {
var ah = screen.availHeight - 40;
var aw = screen.availWidth - 50;
str += ",height=150";
str += ",innerHeight=150";
str += ",width=220";
str += ",innerWidth=220";
str += ",status=no,scrolling=no,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes";
}
//window.name = "different"; // this names current window and forces a new window with the features above.
pagetoload = "http://localhost/mysite/page_xyz.cfm?saw=" + aw + "&sah=" + ah + "&PID=<cfoutput>#thisPID#</cfoutput>";
win = window.open(pagetoload,"myxyz",str); // name this window for reference later
//-->
</script>

You can use CSS to control what parts of the page will show when you print but you can't control any of the automatic "chrome" added by the browser, including the URL of the page.

There are no provisions in javascript to change that either.
