Instructions:
The
page will always fill your browser window. This
is because the page is built from tables that
are defined as a percentage of the window as
opposed to a fixed number of pixels. This
requires more computation on the part of the
browser but with a simple static page the
slowdown is not too bad. Having the page
fill the browser window is beneficial and a
secondary benefit is that most browsers use the
window concept as an equivalent to a printed
page. This gives some control over the
web page's relation to the printed page.
By defining a web page with 20 tables
that are defined as 100% of the width and
height of the window the printer will print out
20 pages. Similarly, several tables can
be used as is done to the above page as long as
some integral number of tables are defined with
percentages that add to 100% in
both dimensions.
For Opera: Open "Files/Print options...". Check "Print page background" if desired. Uncheck "Print headers and footers" as well as "Fit to paper width". Set margins to 0.5. Click on "Paper and orientation" and set the orientation to "Landscape". Open "Files/Print". Set print range from 1 to 1 in order to suppress the printing of this instruction box. Open "Files/Print Preview" to see what the page will look like. For Explorer: Open "Files/Page Setup". Clear contents of header and footer box. Set margins to 0.3. You can open "Files/Print Preview to see what page will look like. Open "Files/Print" and set range from 1 to 1 in order to suppress the printing of this instruction box. Explorer will convert all colored backgrounds to white and all text to black. |

Notes:
This page is created for display on a
24 inch 1920x1200 monitor. If you have the
means I highly recommend picking one up. The
page is optimized for the Opera web
browser.
