    Post Convert hyperlinks to printable text?

    I'm doing a project for my university and my professor would like a page that has clickable links but also the written text of the link. The reason for this is so that students can print the page and just type the links in later. I think that this will look messy (imagine if every link had its text counterpart next to it!).

    Is there a way that I can create hypertext links that will change to their urls when the page is printed?

    Create a print friendly version of the page, link to the original with an a tag and then use javascript to automatically print it after the new page is rendered.

    Thanks. That printable page is what I was thinking I might have to do. I don't know how to do anything in Javascript, though. Know any links that will get me started so I can learn that piece?
