Footers

Probably the wrong place to put this but hey...

Wondering if there is anyway to stop the footers printing in IE?

I know I can do it via print options but that's not suitable; this is for other people printing who won't know how to do that and can't be bothered (i.e. users

)

Any ideas? Fairly sure it can't be done with CSS but happy to be proved wrong.

Cheers,

Dean

The bit that prints at the bottom of a webpage.

Normally a location string or similar.

okay ... so i found something that may work ... it's vbscript ...

Code:

Dim WSHShell
    Dim myHeader
    Dim myFooter
    Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    //After declaring the variables, 
    //the code first captures the current settings of browsers header and footer:
    myHeader = WSHShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header")
    myFooter = WSHShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer")

    //It then proceeds to delete the current settings:
	WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", ""
    WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", ""
	
    //Code to print the page with no user intervention
    Dim objIEA
    Set objIEA = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    objIEA.Toolbar = False
    objIEA.Visible = True
    objIEA.Navigate "http://www.google.com"
    While objIEA.Busy
    Wend
    objIEA.ExecWB 6,2
    Set objIEA = Nothing
	
    //Resets the header and footer back to what the user had to begin with
    WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header", myHeader
    WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\footer", myFooter

I found this on the net ... just don't remember where ... it was located in the back of my code snippet database and I forgot all about it. You may want to try playing with this and see if it will work

(only works in IE, need ActiveX set to at least prompt, will remove Printer headers and footers and reset them back.)

Calldean agrees: Worked perfectly! Cheers,

What OS were you using on your server to do this? I tried to use this today using Windows 2003 server and it didn't work. It gave me an error that it couldn't find the registry key

Code:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\header

Thanks in advance

Did it have service pack 1 installed?
I noticed that a couple of ActiveX objects that it allowed me to do prior to having service pack 1 installed, were turned off.
Thanks for the reply

Thanks.

I hit the submit button too early.

I'm curious to know because the same code, I tested it on my test Win2K server and it worked; however our, sys admin. wants me to find another work around that does not include uninstalling service pack 1.
