asked on
print with landscape orientation
Hi,
I would like to add a button to one of my HTML pages that would allow the user by pressing on it to print the content of the page with landscape orientation.
I have tried to add the following code, but it is still printing the page in portrait mode.
Am I missing something or no doing things the way they should be done?
**********************
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
@page {size: landscape}
@media screen {
BODY {
font-size:8pt;
color:black;
}
}
@media print {
BODY {
font-size:8pt;
color:black;
}
input {
display:none;
}
}
//-->
</style>
</head>
and later in the page:
<input type="button" value="Print" onClick="javascript:self.p
**********************
Thanks.

As Cd& said, the printer has to be set up that way on the machine doing the printing, it's nothing you can control. Sorry.
And yet another one...
You can't do it. You can try and try and try, and you CANNOT control the user's printer. Nor should you.
You want to explain to the company president why her report came out printed landscape? When she didn't want it that way, and never prints ANYTHING landscape?
I thought not... ;-)
