Printable Form

[aussiebaz]

Hi
My question is:
I have a form on one of my sites and I want
to make it also a printable form.
It contains combo boxes etc so how do I make this
a printable form?
Here is the form page

thanks for any assistance

Re: Printable Form

Hi, there is your link here
But this will print the whole page. If you want to just print the form, then you will have to create a new page & maybe pop a link on the form page you have to a printer-able version as possibly a popup or just anther page..

Thanks Collector

Yes I knew about the "Print This Page Linkk"
but what I was after was to have a form that
people could print out then fill out manually
and post off.

I dont think they can do this with this form as is,
because it would not show the multiple choices
in the combo boxes.

Thanks for your reply and I think I may have to do a
new page with a different style of form with lists
instead of combo boxes.

Once agin thank you for your help

Hi Barry,

I am in exeactly the same boat.

Its seems though after speakin gto George (Navaldesign) that to complete the form as we see it and have it print or email requires quite a bit of work.

Some folk saying between 3 and 6 hours for those that are in the know.

Please stay in touch with me and if you find a way in your trials and tribulation I would be glad to know.

I will do the same this end

Re: Printable Form

Ah! i see what you mean if the form was printed out (for lets say a friend to fill in) It might be a case then of doing as you say with a list & check boxes. This might be also better with word or a pdf if there are a lot of questions as printing out web pages can become a pain after the 1st page, as its hard to tell a html page where a print break is to come.

Good luck.

Thanks Rob and Collector

I am going to work on a printable form today
so I will post here if I get it to do what I want
it to do.

Wow, its all a learning curve but I think together
with the people in this forum nothing is unsolvable.

Hopefully will post result soon
