Printing, emailing and ranking.

Hi

I would like to have a link on each page to format the page for print view - is there an easy way to do this (using templates? css?)? Also, if you can do it, can it easily be extended to then email it off to an address?

Also, I would like to add to each page something like "Was this useful" with a ranking (like MSDN). I thought I would do this with a control that just saves the page address and ranking to a db table. Has anybody attempted this?

Re: Printing, emailing and ranking.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your post. Here are the comments:

1) Printer-friendly version
I would recommend you adding an extra CSS stylesheet that will be used for printer output. You can specify it like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/print.css" media="print" />

2) Sending a page in an e-mail
This would require some code. First, you need to check the type of the document (Functions.GetDocumentType()) and build the e-mail body by your code appropriately. It means you will need to use different code for different document types.

3) Ranking
Again, this would require some code as you wrote. Unfortunately, I don't know about any ready-to-use solution.

Please let me know if you need any help with that.

Best Regards,

Top
