    Disable the browser's print button

    desiana

      I am currently doing a program using JSP.In my program I have a print button
      which does a function other that printing. That is why I want to restrict
      users from clicking on the browser print button. I have thought of three
      possible things that I can implement, i.e :
      1. Disable the browser's tool bar
      2. Keep track when users click the print button in the tool bar.
      3. Pop up another window without the tool bar.
      But the poblem is I don't have any idea of how to do those things.
      Can you help me on this ?? Do you think those I mentioned are possible
      to be done ? If yes, then how to do that ? Thanks

          Of all the things you metioned the only
          one you can do is #3, and even this is not
          a solution, because a "serious" user can
          always press CTRL+P to mess you up.
          I guess the only thing to do is to maybe
          phrase it somewhere :-)
