what headers are footers are you referring to?

The title, the page number (headers) - the url, date (footers)

Those are elements added by the client browser - nothing you can control from within the code.  You can control the settings from within the browser however, under Page Setup.

clear them out the header and footer sections page setup in internet explorer - File...Page Setup

Yes, I realize that but my client doesn't want his users to have to make that change.  Wants it transparent.  I saw some javascript posted somewhere that supposedly works, but I can't get it to work.

Thanks BigBilly - I'll check it out now!

in order for the javascript to work, they have to be images or other named elements within the document
then you use the onbeforeprint and onafterprint events in the body tag, and show and hide elements in those scripts

but like you said, I dnot beleive that has anything to do with the headers/footers in IE

I have used Meadco ScriptX on a ton of pages to do just that

Meadco says about ScriptX:

Absolute control for those who need to print html documents from client and server computers running Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

Support for all versions of Internet Explorer from IE 4.01 SP1 to IE 6.0 SP2 on Microsoft operating systems from Windows 95 to Windows XP SP2.

I am afraid that you are out of luck:

BigBilly - which module of ScriptX do you use?  Basic or Advanced?

Please keep in mind about ScriptX - it's activeX and users will need permission to install - this is from the ScriptX website:

Installing the ScriptX software

Installation of the ScriptX software is automatic. The first-ever time a user visits a ScriptX-enabled document, smsx.cab is downloaded and the user is prompted to accept the ScriptX and Security Manager controls by Internet Explorer's standard Authenticode security mechanism.

If the users accept the prompt - and if Internet Explorer on the client machine has been set up correctly to accept and run 'safe' digitally-signed ActiveX content and IF THE USER HAS PERMISSION TO DO SO * - the binaries will be installed and ScriptX-enabled content will then run on that machine.

* For those network environments where client workstations are 'locked down', MeadCo will supply system administrators with an installation executable with which they can 'push' out and pre-install the licensed binaries on their client machines.

>>I am afraid that you are out of luck:

I agree with the blank-o-fritzee - unless you use ScriptX or other ActiveX that can configure client side IE settings (I dont know of any other) taint no other way I know of

I was hoping that there would be a CSS print media option,  but unfortunately, that does not seem to work. The only other option is to spawn a .pdf file.

Basic version

On another note, when you clear out your headers & footers in page setup, I noticed that they remain cleared with each new browser window you open.  After a reboot, does this revert back or is it a one time setting?

its a one time setting
