CSS - Newbie-css Screen-ok, Ugly Print In Ie
I have 2 columns of CSS and it looks OK in IE.
When I do the "Print Preview", only part of it prints out. Here is what it looks like URL( I put a blank before the "." aims .uaex .edu/testpidm2 .htm Code: /*****======== ***4-25-11 added below Unable to print with this style sheet. However it looked good on screen.***/ #dminMax {width:90%; margin:0 auto; background:#e0e0e0; } #dheader {background:#a31e39; } #dLeftGoal {float:left; width:20%; background:#d0c0c0; } #dLeftGoal {padding-bottom:32767px; margin-bottom:-32767px; } #dLeftOut {float:left; width:100%; background:#00ffff; } #dLeftOut {padding-bottom:32767px; margin-bottom:-32767px; } #wrapper {overflow:hidden; } #dViewMessage {width:80%; float:left; background:#d8d8d8; } #footer {clear:both; background:#455c5a; } h1 {font-size:20px; margin:0; padding:10px 0; color:#fff; } h3 {font-size:18px; margin:0; padding:8px 0; } h4 {font-size:3px; font-size:1em; margin:0; padding:8px 0; font-weight:bold; } h5 {font-size:3px; font-size:1.2em; margin:0; padding:8px 0; font-weight:bold; } .dmessage {padding:10px; text-align:left; } .dsubtitle {padding:10px; font-weight:bold; text-align:left; } .d2subtitle { padding:10px; font-weight:bold; background:#00ffff; } .dindent { margin-left:50px; } .d72indent { margin-left:50px; text-align:left; } dsubline{ text-indent:-3px;} p { text-align:left; font-size:1em; line-height:1.5em; margin:0; padding:5px 0; } #footer p, #header p {color:#fff;} #footer a {color:#fff;} #footer a:hover {text-decoration:none;} Any suggestions? I know this must be something simple. TIA. Similar TutorialsHello! Newbie back again. I'm rolling along on using CSS for the first time (hooray!) including that wonderful bit of coding in order to center a #Container. The threads here have been *very* helpful. Due to printing problems with having everything centered at a fixed width (text on the right getting chopped off), I've created a style for media="screen" AND media="print" which works just fine in Netscape and IE. Question: When I pull the style out of the page so that I can reference it as an external css, do I need to create TWO files? Also, I would appreciate any/all comments about my first attempt so far. Is there a better way I should be designating font-family and margins for my elements? <style type="text/css" media="screen"> h1 {color:#003366; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold; margin:0.4cm 0.4cm} p {font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%; margin:0.4cm 0.4cm} ul {list-style-image: url("redarrow.gif"); font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%; margin:1cm 1cm} a:link {color:#003366} a:visited {color:#003366} a:hover {background:#ccccff; text-decoration:none} html, body {margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; /*for IE stupidity*/} #container { position: relative; /*The container must be positioned /*in order to contain positioned /*elements*/ margin: 0 auto; /*This is the proper way to center an element*/ width: 700px; border: 1px solid gray; text-align: left; /*corrects for IE hack*/ padding: 0px; } </style> <style type="text/css" media="print"> h1 {color:#003366; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold} p {font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%} ul {list-style-image: url("redarrow.gif"); font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%} a:link {color:#003366} a:visited {color:#003366} a:hover {background:#ccccff; text-decoration:none} </style> And here's the page I'm working with so far: http://www.accd.edu/sac/lrc/librns/celita/design/linktest.htm Thanks so much for all your help. Hi all, I'm using this code for separate CSS style sheets for screen, handheld and print. <link rel="StyleSheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <link rel="StyleSheet" href="css/style_handheld.css" type="text/css" media="handheld" /> <link rel="StyleSheet" href="css/style_print.css" type="text/css" media="handheld" /> I'm trying to view these using the Firefox Developer Toolbar and 'Display CSS by media type' options, but it's not working. However, when I do a print preview or actually print the document, it does work. Can anybody tell me why this is and how I can get it working? Cheers. I'm working on a site where I want to layer grass along the bottom of the page, but slightly over the bottom of an image that's being used as a footer for a table.

Do you need to define separate 'screen' and 'print' versions of a style? If so, how do you include them in a page? Do you have to jump through any special hoops to insure the browser uses the correct media type (screen/print) for the correct media?

Any help on anything related to this will be appreicated, thanks . Oh, and sorry for the lack of commenting in the CSS, it wasnt planned... It is quite messy We're having a weird problem with a print stylesheet - a little bit of the javascript menu appear on the printed over the top of the content. eg: (http://www.lawhandbook.sa.gov.au/ch10.php ) - Print Preview this page and you will see "Chapters A-Z" in the middle. This seems to happen in all browsers. We've looked into many css solutions to the issue - but to no avail - we cant make the damn thing disappear. One long winded solution is to change the stylesheet to be built dynamically - so a call to ch10.php=true would build the page differently. But this seems to defeat the purpose of using a print stylesheet in the first place. Another long winded soltuion is to change the (Rather old) menu script - but that not really an option in this case either. So my question is - What happens when a browser prints a page? Does it send anything back to the server indicating it is loading the print stylesheet instead? (eg: Some sort of request variable) Or does the client's browser simple request the CSS file and reformat the page it has already downloaded? If so I could detect this event with PHP or Javascript to not load the offending menus when the print css had been loaded I have pages the when viewed for print in Firefox, show the page going below the page margin and not continuing to the next logical printed page. This image below, shows better than I can explain. Has anyone ever seen this before?...Any ideas how to make it preview and print correctly? Hi guys .... I've been all over google looking for the answer and nothing I've tried works. I'm trying to make a print-friendly css page but my browsers (FF and IE7) both ignore the CSS and apply their own standards to it no matter what I do, it's driving me positively INSANE because it feels like I've done everything according to the instructions I found online for print CSS. Could you please take a look at my code and make some suggestions? You'd be saving my sanity. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html xmlns="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>CLOColors3</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="mainstyle.css" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="mainstyleprint.css" media="print" type="text/css" /> the print css: Code: @media print { html{ height:auto;} body{ background-color:#FFF;} #header{ display:none;} #body{ position:relative; background-color:#FFF; background-image:none; height:auto; width:auto; left:0px; top:0px; z-index:0; padding-bottom:0px;} #textbox{ position:relative; overflow:visible; float:none; margin-left: 0px; top: 0px; width:auto; bottom:0px; background-color:#FFF; border:hidden; border-color:#FFF; z-index:0; padding:0px;} #textbox img{ display:none;} .searchbar{ display:none;} #linkbar{ display:none;} .map{ display:none;} .video{ display:none;} #linktext{ display:none;} #clear_both{ display:none;} #menu{ display:none;} #footer{ display:none;} } Currently the main CSS is being used and none of the elements I set to be "hidden" are hidden. Help!!! UPDATE: Ok, so IE seems to be PARTIALLY responding to the print CSS. It responds to all the "display:none;" commands but refuses to format the #textbox div according to my instructions, a border persists and the div has an overflow scrollbar for some reason. Firefox is still unresponsive. Hi, I am a wannabe css compiler... Have the following problem. wrote css for a square screen monitor and placed css box in an area to the right of center, my partner called and told me it sat to the left over the side menu onher wide screen. I cannot figure out how to compensate the (top/left) position to cover both type screens... Anyone help me? Hi, All the content of my web page is in a table which is 760 pixels width. This is fine on the screen, but when printing, the right part is cut. I tried to set a new css print stylesheet <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print"> to avoid this problem, but it is not working. I tried to change the margin and padding, but there is no change. I still have the same problem. I tried many different configurations, but none of them worked... I did probably something wrong. I know that the page is properly printed if I change manually the print setting (file -> page setting) margin to 5mm, but how can I do it with the css, in order than everybody who would like to print the page has the complete page printed? Could someone help me? Many thanks Hello all, I have been trying to get my website to comply with googles page speed and yahoo's yslow. I had 2 seperate css files one for print and one for screen and they wanted them combined. I searched and searched for a way to do this and well I am going to post here how I got things to work in hopes it helps someone else. <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, print" > NOTE if I make it media="all" print does not work here is code for the main css file that combines the 2 into 1. NOTE also the print is NOT loaded until it is needed. @media screen { /* all screen CSS goes in here */ } @media print { /* all print CSS goes in here */ } U ask why a print.css file? simple it lets me force page breaks so images don't get cut in half. it lets me set a legable size font or larger than what is displayed on screen. Ok here is my problem... in the print.css I don't want to print my backround image. I want just a plain white background. I use a "sprite" to call picture frames for screen. These frames use part of my background image... thus they look bad printed. How do I in the print.css file tell it NOT to print this frame.png file? I assume I will use .noprint DISPLAY:none or something to that effect but where and how to impliment this is over my head and I cannot find any examples of how to do it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help whonoes Hi All, This is my first post in CSS forums. I want to display a DIV in the center of screen. I am using this DIV for the showing the progress image in my search page (So it is is visible only in some cases.) How can I make it visible in the center of the visible screen (above all other elements). Note: User may have scrolled down the screen. I hope this is possible with CSS I have a page dien all in css that is all set for 800x600 resolution. Does any one know how I can detect larger screen size/resolutions and center the entire page for these instances thanks JT I've run into yet another IE "feature" that i'd like to ask you, dear colleagues, how to solve. I have a relatively positioned div and i need to absolute position another div inside of it to fill almost all width and height of the parent. I need it to have a 20px margin from top and bottom. Here's what works in real browsers: Code: .somediv{ position: absolute; left: 0; top: 20px; bottom: 20px; right: 0; } Now how do i make it work in a developer's nightmare IE? There are 2 more divs in top and bottom both 20px high so the new div shouldn't overlap with them. I couldn't figure out why people were telling me they couldn't see my page but i could see it just fine in two different locations. Come to find out I use firefox and IE is showing a blank page. Can someone help me with this? <html> Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>All Fore U Golf Clinic</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> @import "nav.css"; </style> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> </style> </head> <body> <div id="header">header thing</div> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <h1>content</h1> <p>Sum Stuff goes here...</p> <p class="last">...and here</p> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <h1>navigation</h1> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">History</a></li> <li><a href="#">Team</a></li> <li><a href="#">Offices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Golf Stuff</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Clubs stuff</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.google.com">accessories stufff</a></li> <li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="#">Domain Names</a></li> <li><a href="#">Broadband</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">United Kingdom</a></li> <li><a href="#">France</a></li> <li><a href="#">USA</a></li> <li><a href="#">Australia</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <br> </div> <div class="clearing"> </div> </div> <div id="footer">footer thing</div> </body> </html> CSS: Code: body { font: normal 11px verdana; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */ border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; } ul li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; /* Set 1px less than menu width */ top: 0; display: none; } /* Styles for Menu Items */ ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #777; background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */ padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.

In IE 7.0 Why is the text displaying the way it is in this screen shot: http://www.larreamma.com/screens/lmma.png It should display like this: http://www.larreamma.com/screens/lmma_ie8.png (I do not have access to IE 7 to readly test various options). Thank you in advance. how can i get a div in the middle of the y-axis of the browser window? |
