68405 - W3C CUAP: Allow choice of frames to print

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

[ This bug is one of the recommendations in the W3C's "Common User Agent 
Problems" document, URL above. One bug has been filed on each recommendation, 
for deciding whether we do it and, if not, whether we should. ]

1.4 When the user requests to print a frameset, allow the user to select to
print an individual frame or the frameset.

     The presentation of the frameset could be achieved, for example, by:

        o proposing a list of frames to the user.
        o using a graphical representation of the organization of the
          frames.

     Note: The authors do not encourage Web content developers to use
     frames as they can cause many usability and accessibility problems.

This is related to bug 7201, but not the same - I believe bug 7201 is about 
having all frames print on the same page, so the printout looks like the page 
looks. This is about selecting a frame to print.

I think this is mostly done already.

We just added a GUI to print frames, IFrames, Selections, etc.  We have other 
bugs that handle all the aspects of this problem, which there are a few each 
which talk about different areas of this problem.

dcone - this bug isn't INVALID, it's a reasonable bug. If it's fixed, it's FIXED 
or WORKSFORME. If it's the same as another bug, it's a DUPE. If it covers 
several issues, let's mark some dependencies, add a meta keyword and leave it 
open. But it's certainly not INVALID.

I used invalid because other bugs cover these isssues.. and it was not just one 
dup, there are many bugs that cover this issue.. and I do not have the time to 
look for the other bugs and mark dependencies.  I understand that its not 
"INVALID".. but I did not have better choices.. and I disposition 10 - 15 bugs a 
day.. 75% are duplicates.. and eat up 25% of my day.. I am just keeping my 
triage time managable.

So isn't sujay supposed to be your QA contact, and deal with stuff like that? 
;-)

<shrug> Whatever's easiest for you. I know how busy you guys are :-) It's not 
a big issue.

We now allow three options when printing frames:

* As laid out on the screen
* The selected frame
* Each frame separately
