hello
I am working on this project where once the user completed registration page I have to pop up with the terms and condition of use. With the option them to print the terms and condition.
the project is in classic ASP.
My question is what is the best way to display the terms and condition to print when the customer wanted to print?
The terms and condition is a 6 page document. I wanted it to open on the web browser with print dialog on. Appreciate if someone could show me with an example.
Thanks

This would be the abuse. Please see my considerations in Solution 1.

Not necessary. Let's say: it's a suggestion about printing in classic asp. ;)
Makes the difference?

I should be more careful. I did not mean printing itself, I mean possible enforcement of the printing, which was just my fantasy: OP correctly indicated: "when the customer wanted to print".
Sorry about this mistake.

The best way is to never enforce printing.

All you need is the user's consent. What, if the user does not have a printer, you are not going to enroll/register this person? It would be ridiculous. The user should be able too choose: 1) to save the text in clipboard and then somewhere else, 2) to save the whole page, 3) to print it, without your help; assume that all users know how to print a Web page; 5) just to read it and get informed; 6) to be able to review the terms and conditions later and do anything of the above (very important! many company don't care about this important feature), 7) to ignore the text completely, trust you, and still confirm the agreement (probably you don't know how many users do exactly that!).

If you are using any technique to deprive your user of any of the choices listed above, you highly compromise the quality of your service and even the customer's rights. You don't want it.
