unable to get printer friendly output

[George]

I tried to implement a printer friendly output and
attempted two approaches:
1. Using CSS with "<link rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />" in the
head section and a print.css file in the dir.
2. Having "<LINK REL=alternate MEDIA=print
HREF="test.htm">" in the head section and test.htm
(containing print preferable output).

However, neither approach works, the printer output is
equal to no code at all. I am using FrontPage and the
site has shared borders. I have the feeling the latter is
a problem. I am still learning, thus I'll appreciate any
advice/help.

No, shared borders will print fine.
Provide an URL so we can see what goes wrong.

I agree, the shared border prints fine (regardless what I
try). My issue is that I want to eliminate the shared
border for printing. I tried the two options I mentioned
before to achieve this!

Place all content in the shared border in a div. In your print.css set
that divs visibility to hidden.
