17Mar03 Walter	Subject: print friendly & dynamic php pages Hello Will! I've been looking for a while for a 'print friendly'-script and I found a good one on your site. I've installed it, and it works. But, I've to put the pfp-script in an footer (SSI). So I've to use "?doc=self", isn't it? One very very big problem: 'http_referer'! These days, almost every computer has the latest browsers and firewalls etc. So, the script won't work because of privacy/security reasons!! Is there a solution??????

You might try something like this: <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!-- var thislink = '<a href="/cgi-bin/MasterPFP.cgi?doc=' + document.URL + '">'; document.writeln(thislink); //--></script> Click for Printer Friendly Page</a>

Yes, referrer information can no longer be relied upon. However, JavaScript can still know the current URL.

You might try something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--
var thislink = '<a href="/cgi-bin/MasterPFP.cgi?doc=' +
document.URL +
'">';
document.writeln(thislink);
//--></script>
