I am not sure they have them in Canada though.

I was surprised to see there are tons of them in Toronto!

That is staged.

Hello All,
Not a programming question.
But just wondering, if we can retrieve fields from the database and generate html on the fly(including lot of div styling) on a click of a button say 'print further information'? Or the best way is on click user goes to another page with all the information and then give him an option to print the page as usual using print styles?
Can such generic questions be posted here? Else i will move it to Q/A section.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. It's not that difficult - providing you're using appropriate techniques (for example WebSockets).
Such generic questions can be asked here. It's when you want to know how to do it that it's no longer appropriate for the lounge. Be aware though, with such a vague requirement, you will most likely get abuse if you post it in QA; not everyone is friendly in there.

Thanks Pete -
I will take care in future.
Here is the user journey to give you more details -
1. In page A, there is a list of articles that user can click on and view it.
2. Next to the list, there is a button that says 'print further information'
3. Once user clicks on that - behind the scene, we pull through all the relevant data from the DB and add it to the html template (on the fly)(with all the styling i.e. text in two column instead of one, header logo, footer, coloured divs etc)
So my question is whether it is better/easy to create a page with html template and pulling relevant data seperately. And on button click we just redirect to that page and force print option so that print window appears?
Or this all can be done behind the scene and on button click, user just gets an print window option straight away?
I will see what WebSockets can offer on this matter. Thanks

A pint would be nice, thank you (I'm assuming that was a typo?
If not, look at CSS3 Media Queries[^] ?

To the best of my knowledge, you can't print HTML without viewing it first...this is a good thing for those of us old and grey enough to remember fax spam.

imho questions like this are often answered on the QA forums, but I suggest you be as specific as possible; be sure and tag your question so it shows what stack you are using: ASP.NET, WinForms, WPF, etc.

They're using Apple Safari. Haven't they suffered enough?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Other browsers have similar bugs that have been expoited recently. The BBC, however, is obsessed with Apple as are most of the "artistic" industries. Their tech section is littered with Apple articles, if someone brings something out (a new phone, a new service) the article is always written as a "Contender to Apple's throne" article. They write as if Apple is the only vendor for tech and that everyone has an iWhatever, completely ignoring Apple's small portion of the market. That is why Apple's Safari has been singled out for attention.

Empty headed lyrics make the vast majority of songs un ! Nobody, not least Santana, is immune from the destructive power of doggerel!

Hmm. If I made "full-headed" lyrics a requirement in my taste in music, my music library would be very small and probably filled with obscure opera.

You say that like it's a bad thing!

It is because obscure opera is not the type of music I enjoy. I like 60's R&B, 70's funk, a smattering of 80's pop and hair bands, some 90's rock, smooth jazz, and some new age.
If listening to music is an academic achievement for you, that's fine. For me it's an alternative to pharmaceutical moderation of my mood. For example, today I'm listening to the Rippingtons Built to Last[^].

Blocked at work, is it a cover of the Jerry Garcia tune?
