javascript message board like this one?

[Anon]

I need help with some javascript and was wondering if anyone knew of a good message board like this one....where people actually reply 🙂

here's my problem right now:

print("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">
function printWindow() {
bV = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (bV >= 4) window.print();
}
</script>");
print("<a href=\"javascript:printWindow()\" target=\"right\">viewPrint.php");

this creates a button that when i click on it it prints a certain window that i deem when using frames.

My problem is that I have a list that alternates color so that one row is gray, the next white etc. Because of this i keep my browser set to "Print Background images" so that is prints the background color of the table row.

But there are times that I want the "Print Background" color off so that it prints white. Can you do this through Javascript so that it will shut off the "print bg object" and the turn it back on afterwards, or something similar?

Unfortunately, there is no way to control whether the user's browser sends the background colors/images to the printer to be printed. It would be a security risk for the browser to allow a remote file (your page) that level of control over the client system.

It's frustrating, because the default setting is for the browsers to NOT print backgrounds... stupid. Are people really that concerned about using too much ink or toner anymore?

Good Luck!
