377811 2005-08-03 08:00:00 Hi there, we have all had problems printing out a Webpage only to see it has missed out about 20% off the RHSide.

Ive the task of making an Online Registration sheet, that can be either emailed back or printed out and posted to the club.

Ive 1024 by 768 resolution, designed the Form in MS Frontpage, only to find the above problem. So I reset the Screen Resolution to 800 by 600, redesigned the page so it fitted across the screen, saved it, then printed it out, and drum roll....... it prints out in one page.

I figure there has to be an easier way to to carry this out, and not go the way of creating a PDF for printing out the Form.

Any ideas...

Thanks................ John in Mosgiel.

377813 2005-08-03 10:08:00 You could design your layouts to be fluid so that they expand to the screen resolution or the width of the page. If you've used CSS you can set seperate style sheets. Have one for screen and one for print. Have a look here: webdesign.about.com ad_267 (6193)

377816 2005-08-03 20:02:00 What I used to do was put everything that you whant to printed in a table (table centered on the page) and make it 600 wide. That is appox the width of A4 paper. beama (111)
