Re: webpage Printing - how to Format webpage content
thanks for the suggestions
usa2k - i'll try some stylesheet options and see how they work (and yes i am/was clueless, hence this post  )
dc dsl - i am the backend (so to speak) but am trying to add frontend links for the 'admins' to manage activity themselves
- ie they can edit assigned shifts (volunteers cannot)
frames: the layout/content of the schedule page/frame is in tables - date being saved to a simple text file
i already do the copy/paste into formatted word pages (and/or excel depending on how the end user wants to see and use the data)
- but ideally i to be out of the process once the schedules are posted
.doc vs .txt: the only data saved is the volunteer's name, not the shift day, location, shift hours which is visible on the sign up page
- but i can look further into that to see if the .doc instead of .txt format works well enough
this is for 20 - 60 shifts per day for a 5 day period in each of june, july, and september with the shifts grouped into various locations, then various times at each location etc
this is replacing a paper sign-up method (i hesitate to call it a system  ) and so far is working well but it can always be better
as posted in OP, once we move it to a database then formatting output and other options will be easier
but for now there's some good suggestions to consider/try - thanks again |
