How to add a print button on a web page

How do I add a print button on a web page in Front Page so that my viewers can print the page without using their browser's print function?

Here's what you need:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function printpage()
{
window.print()
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Print this page"
onclick="printpage()">
</form>
</body>

</html>

Ok I am sorry, but I don't get it. Can you try explaining one more time. Thanks a million.

YES! IT worked! THANKS! This is so wonderful. Is there a way to print the form without printing the shared borders on the webpage? THANKS!

You're welcome! Seems like once you do this sort of thing once or twice it seems so simple :)

I'm not sure about the shared border thing, though. I believe that's a browser feature and I'm not sure you can turn that off even with scripting. But, it should only be a Firefox thing - I don't see the border in IE if that helps at all.
