CSS - Css Printing - Won't Print White Text
Similar TutorialsDoes anyone know if it is possible to get text to print white with CSS when printing a page? I know generally you want text black, but this text will be positioned over a black graphic. It seems even when you set the color to white and set it to important in a print style sheet, the print driver sets it to black. Is there any way with a print style sheet to force it to white? Hello, I'm design the web page printing feature, i apply a print button for trigger out the window.print() javascript command and it will set the button.style.display to none after button clicked. Whereas, It is happen when user using the CRTL-P and the button will continuous remain on printing paper . I wonder any optimize way to solve this problem? Can it be solve in CSS styling? Hi, I've got a webpage that I need to print almost exactly as it appears on the screen. Currently I've got two style sheets linked to, one for the 'screen' and one for 'print'. I know this is working because the top line of my print CSS is: @page {size: A4 landscape;} however I can't seem to alter any of the elements on the print CSS. If I adjust the width, height, even the color it always inherits the stuff from the screen CSS and uses that, ignoring the print CSS. In fact, I can't even define a margin for my page using @page {margin...}. The two style sheets look like this: for the screen: body {..... etc etc all works fine... for the print: @page {size: A4 landscape;margin:3cm;} body {.... etc ALMOST same as above the print CSS is essentially the same as the screen one, except that I want to define different widths and heights for table elements so I can fill an A4 page with a margin. The printing process ignores the widths and heights from the print CSS, and even ignores the margin definitions. It must be reading the print CSS because it knowns to print landscape. What am I doing wrong, or am I completely misusing the @page and media commands? Thanks in advance. Andy I have a page with some very large (dynamically populated) tables in an application. Is there a way to prevent these table from being pushed to a new page when printing? I don't care where the tables break, but what I am trying to avoid is a printed header and then a huge gaping whitespace on the 1st printed page and then the table , that should have been printed just below the header, on a new second page. Any thoughts? Thanks, Stephen How would one print an Internet document double sided? For instance, to create a brochure of products, listings etc... with double-sided pages. Thanks, Zane Alrite, Im having a little trouble hiding text and then showing the text only on the printout of the page. Here is what I have so far: Setting up Style tags: PHP Code: <style type="text/CSS"> #inc { display:none; //hides text on page } </style> <style type="text/CSS" media="print"> #omit { display:none; //hides text on printout } </style> ... that bit works fine, it is this bit I am struggling with, how do I write the following: PHP Code: <style type="text/CSS" media="print"> #inc { display:??? what goes here ???; //show text on printout } </style> ... here is the #inc being called: PHP Code: <span id="inc"> <font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">Text </span> ... so the #inc is called to hide the text on the page but displays text on printout. Am I going in the right direction??? Thanks Nick I use a css class to control my text around an image, but it does not print floated. Instead it prints like they are block elements. Code:
img.newsthumb{
float: left;
clear: left;
padding-right: 5px;
border: 0px;
}
img.newsthumb2{
float: right;
clear: right;
padding-left: 5px;
border: 0px;
}
Any clue on how to fix this. I created a print.css for my site, but it still does not work and would appreciate any help. Here's my site: http://seniormobility.org/test/actionplan.html Here's the print.css code: Code:
body, .maincopy {
background-color: transparent;
font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color: #000000;
}
#navcontainer, #header, #header_pic, #text_control, #header_breadcrumb #search_box {
display: none;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
float: none;
}
#pagename, #main_content, #main_content_home {
border: 0;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 5%;
padding: 0;

}
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! Im deriving a list of photos with information from my database. I want to be able to print the webpage off without any of the information being broken up between pages. Since its coming from the database I cant just use page breaks cause then I get one image per page. Is there a solution to this? Hi I am really struggling to get my print stylesheet as it is. The site is http://calibrehr.com/new/ and the stylesheet is http://calibrehr.com/new/print.css If you print preview say the home page in firefox it cuts off the text at the bottom. IE displays this page ok. Could someone please give me some help with reagrd to this problem, and any advice on making print stylesheets!! Thanks alot! Hi all, Simple issue - got a form with textboxes whose screen width will be less than the max width (for design and spacing purposes). However, I'd like the print stylesheet to make the entire contents of the textbox visible when they print. A year or two ago, setting input{width: auto;} in the print stylesheet worked fine, but it seems the newer browsers (IE 6+. latest FF) do not support this method. Any thoughts on how to do this? Thanks, AJ Hi there...First post in this forum cause Firefox (and mozilla / netscape) are driving me mad! Please consider the following code: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
@media print {
p {font-size:11px;text-align:justify;}
table {width:100%;}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="770" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">

This is basically a reconstruction of an existing problem of a far more complex design...in any case, if you try to print->Preview from Opera or IE 5+ everything is sweet...However, Firefox (and the other Gecko browsers) will not properly justify the text when previewing. More precisiely: Firefox will wrap text over 12px correctly yet for small text, the p block will not wrap properly and some text will be cropped. I'm not fussy about justification but even when I removed it I would get the same problem. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical solution to this problem. Maybe the width:100% gets inherited by the td and p but that should not affect the layout...Despite my various experiements of chaging the width and the wrapping properties, I could not solve this. I'm still learning the intricasies of block elements in CSS2 so I would definitely appreciate any help! Thanks in advance, Angelos 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 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:

#clear_both{

#footer{

}
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? Ok guys, I'm hoping someone can help me. I am a complete newbie to CSS and web site construction in general. I have a left vertical navigation bar made up of graphics in a div tag that is set to float on the left. I'm having difficulty with the graphics, they have white spaces in between them when viewed in IE. They are supposed to butt up against one another. I have tried setting the margin and padding in that div to 0. I have also seen in other forums where the <li> tag can be placed on the previous line to fix this problem in IE. I haven't even viewed the page on any other browsers yet, can someone help me please? Thanks so much! vonatah I have layed out the page but cannot seem to get the hang of the floats and positioning....!! If anyone can give me a hint how I can position my text in the main white space I would be so grateful as I am confusing myself as to what i am doing wrong!! the site is hosted at www dot getatrader dot com PLEASE HELP!! here is the CSS: Code:
