Re: Change flavour "on the fly", possible?

The PyBlosxom site has a print flavour that looks like the html flavour 
except it's missing all the navigation and some of the other stuff.

    http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/?flav=print

There are a couple of ways you could do what you're advocating.  The 
first is that you can do what we did with the PyBlosxom site and have a 
print flavour.  Then you have a link to the print version.

The other way to do it is with DHTML and JavaScript.  The user clicks on 
a button or link and with JavaScript you make the sidebar and whatever 
other elements on the page you want to disappear hidden.

If I had to do the print thing again, I'd do it with JavaScript--it's 
much easier in the grand scheme of things.
