Let's say that I want to make printing the web pages at my customer's
site as flexible as possible. Rather than forcing them to print a page
that is a mirror image (or as close as possible) of the page, I'd like to
give them the option of printing the index, the header, the art work that
just pretties up the page, and the background or omit it as they see fit.
What are the best ways to accomplish this?

I suppose you could set up alternate stylesheets:

look up @media print for defining print only styles

I know nothing about this other than it is possible.

I can well imagine using Javascript for that purpose but it seems a bit
dated as approaches go. What better methods exist for accomplishing this
goal? Can anyone point me to tutorials for these methods?


Thank you for the link and the suggestion!
