Re: but

That's wierd. Just tried again scotty. Checked js function only contains

window.print();

and nowt else. And it prints headers/footers. I wonder if you happen to have blank values in the registry? That's where it gets the defaults from apparently.


PS
That does seem to be it. Opened any old page in IE, selected page setup, cleared header and footer strings, closed and tried window.print() again - no hdrs/ftrs. Not really a viable solution unfortunately.

PPS
From VB supposed to be able to use iWebBrowser2.exewb with third param containing necessary info. But how to put a iWebBrowser2 object in the project I have no idea. It's defined in same dll/oca asWebBrowser so should be available in controls.

Pardon oh?

ah, **THOSE** headers/footers.

oops. sorry zog. can't do that from clientside script at the moment without that clunky tech you mentioned - templates. however, there is a freeb activex control you can use which easily does the job...

//save existing user's info

//set header and footer to blank
factory.printing.header = "";
factory.printing.footer = "";
//print page without prompt
factory.DoPrint(false);

factory.printing.header = h;
factory.printing.footer = f;

That looks good. Ta SP. Seen mention of scriptx but not a decent example of use. Will investigate tomorrow. Looking at this problem all day and my brain hurts. Time for vodka.

That works a treat! Thanks very much sp! for yet another bit of good advice.
