Check whether CSS 2 with its media print related settings helps dy defining a print stylesheet: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html However support for such stuff varies from browser to browser. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
IE6 looks to completly ignore @page, any other ideas. It for use on an intranet and only has to support IE6 and above "John Peach" wrote in message news:LOVok.6273$RN6.2314@newsfe18.ams2... >I want to take a xhtml document and print it to A4 paper with headers on >each page, what is the best way to do this ? > > please advise > > John

It will also allow you to specify and control which printers the content is sent to, and is worth the money if IE is your only option. You could also consider using Apache FOP processing XML to PDF which means you have a better control over the page rendering intent and layout. If I had to do it again, I'd use FOP, or some other PDF generation (such as FPDF in PHP) to do the job.
