Printing a full page!

I am not sure if this is a Frontpage problem or a browser one. On our Web site, some pages are wider than the screen. When you try to print them only the parts on the screen show up. I want to print the whole web page from my browser! Any ideas?

What is the URL of your site?

-PR
http://216.108.146.3/index.htm But it doesn't only happen in our site. It happens in others as well. Probably if I adjusted the screen to 1024x768 then the problem would go away. But there must be another way! This is a work related site so to make it work would be really handy! The way that we have been getting around it is to put PDF documents on, but this again isn't the best way I don't think.

When you want to print, before you click on print, click on Properties in Print Wizard/click Horizental Radio Button.  You should be right.  But, what you see on the screen will be printed on 2-3 pages depending how lenghty the page is.  One more point, different print software have got Landscape/Horiz radio button in different places on the Print Wizard.  Just dig in.

well i can get you out of the problem the other way round
....
see the html code of the page and in it wherever the width is specified in pixels make it to 100%
eg:- <table width="100%">
and then you will not see those annoying horizontal scroll bars.
bye!

I will give you the points. I thought there would be an easier solution. Maybe in the next version!

Thanks!

You gave me a failing grade?  sob.. sob... my reputation is tarnished!

P.S. next time you ask a question, provide more details, and discuss it further before grading!

TO Netbug:  for printing, Netscape does not like 100% tables and especially hates 100% stretched wide images.  Your solution works well for display, but printing is a whole different ball game.  My workaround was to display a different page (via SSI, and ASP), depending on the function being performed (viewing is 100% tables, and printing is 638 pixel wide tables)
