OK... I'm beyond frustration. I'm sure there is a SIMPLE fix to this....
I need to specify an alternate file for printing (instead of the webpage). What I'm actually doing is printing a coupon that is located in the center of the page and I don't want to print the rest of the page content. Several places make reference to this type of usage... for alternate languages, alternate devices, even specifically to get a "printer friendly" file to print instead of html Assume the coupon is contained in a file called coupon.html (or .pdf or .txt or anything else that will work) Based on what I read (and I have tried to figure this out....) <link rel="alternate" media="print" href="coupon.html" /> SHOULD work... but it doesn't you can also add ... type="text/css" but that is optional I know how to set the coupon apart with a class and make only that class visible to a printer... but it prints in the same relative location and if it's a long webpage... you get two blank sheets with a coupon 2/3 of the way down on page one... not acceptable. |
