Collector-Info: Creating a printable off line Order form

[Thumpmonkey]

I'm looking to make a printable offline Order Form, and found a closed thread from 2007...

Collector-Info responded: "Hi, if you make a page up using the BV form tools. You can than allow your visitor to just print it out via a print button & fill it in by hand. Or let them fill it out on line & then be able to print it & manually add a signature if wanted. Sample here." (this is the exact URL that was linked)

However the link no longer works and I was wondering if you moved it, or have another example, because this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

what i do is make my page on the web and then make the same page and save it as a pdf. that way it prints out on 8-5 x 11 sheet.

Ah! must have deleted it on a clear up session. New Link
The form is just the same as an email form, but with a print button. Add the code below to a html box for a print button.

<SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
function printit(){
if (window.print) {
window.print() ;
} else {
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
}
}
</script>

<SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape");
var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (VERSION > 3) {
document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>');
}
</script>

I just went to the page you referenced earlier, and it IS working fine on this end... There's something up with your printer settings it sounds like.
