I'm basically a novice at creating web sites. I have done it before, but everything was done by "brute force" so to speak. This time I'm trying to be at least a little bit smarter.
I have a web-page that uses a layout that will be standard throughout my site, but it is not a very printer-friendly layout. So, I created a "printable format" link to a common "print.htm" page with the relevant content included.
Is there a way to automatically reuse that "print.htm" with the content from the source page?
For example, here is a "topic" page from my site that includes a "text" content page:
http://home.san.rr.com/vagabondia/admin/mail.htm
If you follow the "Printable Format" link, you'll arrive at the printable page for mail.htm. Do I have to create a separate "_print" page for every topic, or is there some way to read the included "_text" page from the "topic" page where the user has clicked "printable format" and automatically include that in the standard "print" page.
I hope that makes sense... it's still early here.
