Creating Printer-Friendly Web Pages
Laptop Battery Reading from a computer screen is uncomfortable, so users may
often want to print the page they're viewing. The problem is that
web pages don't usually lend themselves to print.
- Make sure your IIS Web server is running and create a // Web site using Visual Web Developer.
- Create a new Web Form named
Product.aspx in your project, behind file or Master Page. Then modify the generated code as shown in the following code snippet. (Remember that you can have Visual Web Developer generate the Page_Load signature for you by switching to Design view, clicking an empty area of the page or using the Properties window.)
Thinkpad Unless your web page width is 600 pixels or less, chances are
that your page copy will not fit in the printed page, and important
information will be cropped-out.
Now, select the type of Web you want to create. It is best to create simple One Page Web as you can add additional blank pages whenever required. Web Site Templates Enter a location for the web in the box provided beginning with //. This is the location where you can preview the web on your computer. Later you will need to copy it to the server to display your site to the world on the WWW.
Microsoft However, as we've pointed out before, limiting your web pages to
a width of 600 pixels translates into sub-optimal use of your
visitor's screen real estate, since the majority of web users
nowadays employ screen resolutions of 800x600 or higher.
The Folders view lets you locate the created pages. When you are ready to publish your web on the web server, you need to copy the folder to the server. Open a Web page To open a web page that you have already created, select Open Web. Select the web folder from the list and click on Open. Save a Web You have to save all pages within the folder created by FrontPage. These pages are saved on the hard drive of your computer and are not visible on the Internet. When you publish your web on the Internet, you have to copy the entire folder to a network drive.
Laptop Computers A better option is to specify your page width in percentage
terms, for example: 100%. This way your web page will adapt to
whatever width your printer is set up to, and your copy will not be
cropped-out.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Laptop Computer However, this solution has two drawbacks:
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the simplest way to transfer web page files from your computer to the Charter web server for anyone to view.
Desktop Computer Your page layout may be modified in ways you never intended, as
a consequence of lines of text having to wrap up to accommodate
your printer's width and margin parameters.
Notebooks Your printed page will still show all those unwanted navigation
menus and banner ads.
All of which takes us to our preferred solution: if your web page
presents important content that your visitors will most likely want
to print, create a link to a printer-friendly version of your
page.
Lenovo A printer-friendly page should follow these simple
guidelines:
Hard Drive The page width should be specified in percentage terms (100% or
less), so that it will automatically adjust to your printer's page
width and margin parameters.
Travelstar It should have a small version of your logo (or the name of your
website in plain text) at the top left, hyperlinked to your
homepage, so that your visitors have an easy way to go back to your
website after printing the article.
Gateway With the exception of your logo, the page should contain only
text, which should be left justified, to facilitate reading.
Laptop Parts It should indicate what is the URL of the original version of
the page.
Software If the page features an article, it should include the author's
resource box.
Your original page should contain a link pointing to your
printer-friendly page at a visible location. The standard practice
is to include a text link next to a simple icon of a printer.
Hard Drives Although creating printer-friendly versions of your pages will
lead to the duplication of some of your content, your visitors'
user experience will be significantly enhanced.
Electronics Furthermore, you don't have to worry about taking up significant
web server space and bandwidth, since your printer-friendly pages
will be text-only.
Canon Finally, you don't need to create printer-friendly versions of
all your web pages, only of those which your visitors will most
likely want to print, for example: articles, how-to tips,
confirmation pages, instructions pages, and product specification
sheets.
