CSS - Do Not Show When Print?
Similar TutorialsWe'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 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{

.video{

#linktext{

#clear_both{
display:none;}
#menu{

#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. 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? 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 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, I understand that there are at least 7+ media types for CSS and more may be added later. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html I want a special stylesheet for print but all other media should use the same stylesheet. Code: <style type="text/css" media="print">@import "print.css";</style> <style type="text/css" media="all except print">@import "main.css";</style> The following is a bad idea because it does not cover media that may be added in the futu Code: <style type="text/css" media="aural, braille, embossed, handheld, projection, screen, tty, tv">@import "main.css"; <style type="text/css" media="print">@import "main.css"; hey all, my pages do not print, err they only produce a white page. i have my css set to all media - maybe there is sth. wrong with my jungle of css? i hope someone can help me out on that one. the site is: http://www.chocolateriewanders.com Im trying to write a better office backend.

When I do a print preview or actually print in both IE8 and FF, all the text gets cut-off on the right. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Thanks in advance for everyone's help! I put together the following site ... http://www.themax.co/ I am trying to create a style sheet for the PRINT pages, but I ran into some problems (the main site looks fine, but the print page doesn't). First, go to the page... http://www.themax.co/?page_id=6 When you go to print, and look at the print preview (in Firefox). most of the content is pushed to the second page. I assume this is because of the style .pagesidebox (which is a column that spans the entire page) ... I think this is causing the rest of the content to go to the next page. Any idea how to fix this? Second, I have a logo that goes against the black background (on the website) and a white logo that is supposed to appear on the print page. So, in the print.css stylesheet, I called the background-image to point to the new image. However, the new image is not showing up when printing. I assume this is because the image is a BACKGROUND image, and the print settings are set to NOT show backgrounds. Is there a way around this (using CSS)? Since there are two logos (one on white, and one on black), I can't place the image inside the html page (I have to use CSS). Please let me know. Thanks! Hiya, theres a website I'm creating a print stylesheet for which includes the company logo in the header, with a footer of contact details. problem is, the website is all static pages and 100 odd pages, so as I'm having to deal with the static state of the site for now, is there a way I can have in the Print stylesheet or in the CSS where the logo can be inserted in a header and a footer created with text? hope this makes sense? Use relative rather than absolute units in CSS property values. WCAG1 AA 3.4 , Absolute units are cm, mm, in, pt and pc, as well as absolute size keywords like x-small. Partially sighted users often use the "large fonts" mode of Windows, which makes each pixel larger than usual. This usually causes problems with pixel based layouts, which also perform badly on handheld and widescreen displays. Percentage values "stretch" according to screen size and work on a large range of display sizes. hello again folks, Man I am lost on this warning any help? Below is my print.css file body { color : #000000; background : #ffffff; font-family : "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size : 12pt; width: auto; background-position: center center; } a { text-decoration : underline; color : #0000ff; } Thanks once again for all your help! whonoes I have a three column layout page which looks fine in IE as well as Firefox. But if I try to print the page, it prints the entire page in one column. Also, backgrounds are not printed. Searching on google, it seems CSS is the cause behind this.

Here is a simple page that I put up using the above CSS (main.css) which has the issue I described above. Use print preview and you will see all the 3 columns one below another.

I have a print style sheet which has an undesired result. Apparently by default it prints the url (and the page title) at the top of each page. Can I tell it not to do that or is that a browser preference that can't be overridden with CSS? Hello, I have tried to make a print page using CSS to set the display to none for areas that I don't want printed. This works fine in Firefox but Exploder always pritnts a blank page first. Has anybody had similar problems? Thanks Hello all, Not sure if this is a CSS or Javascript question.. I have a page which has an external CSS sheet, with a part for the @media print styling. On this page I'm also using (throughout my site) a javascript navigation bar. The idea is that when user clicks on a print-button, the whole navigation bar disappears, before printing. The Javascript seems however to add additional DIVS when loading the page which are without any ID, class or nametag, so I tried to get to this "navigationbar-div" via CSS selector combinations - just to find out that apparently CSS cannot select these divs (- maybe because they were added by javascript at runtime???). No matter what I try, it's like CSS doesn't "see" there's additional divs there.. I've also tried to select the concerning DIVs through DOM, but apparently this is still buggy even for modern browsers, so I rather not touch it.. Is there anyway I can get rid of the Javascript navigation bar in my print stylesheet? Thanks for your help! Hi there..I have a big problem here..I was told to put a print button in the web page and the page nust be printed out in landscape...he setting must be done in the coding not manually..and i found this coding below but not sure where to put in... PHP Code: <style type="text/css" media="print"> div.page { writing-mode: tb-rl; height: 80%; margin: 10% 0%; } </style> and i have done with the print button.. PHP Code: function printit(){ if (window.print) { window.print() ; } else { var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>'; document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser); WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box WebBrowser1.outerHTML = ""; } } </script> <SCRIPT Language="Javascript"> var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape"); var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion); if (VERSION > 3) { document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>'); } </script> now the problem is with the landscape...pLS anybody..HELP..!! |
