CSS - Print.css File To Omit Background ??
Greetings -
My site has a slightly complex structure -- 7 areas over a background image, and the background resizes to fit the browser size. (oldWithoutMoney dot com) What I'd like to do is create a print.css file that omits the background image when the site is printed. Can anyone provide sample stub code or point me to a useful tutorial? And where is the print.css file supposed to reside? public_html? public_html/style? wherever the relevant .htm file is? Thanks kindly. - Richard Similar TutorialsI have this transparent png image and it looks great on a web page when you put a background color on it. the only transparent part is the border, the rest is white, so the bg color is really for border. When you go to print it, however, printers dont normally show bg colors Is there some way how I can force printing the the bg color when the user prints the page? (I know some times u can configure that on their printer but I don't want them to have to do anything. ) hello, i have a few tables with different background-image (style attribute) in my page. how can i print the page with the background images i know @media print should help, but i don't know how. * does the css have to be external, or can i use the tag <style> PLEASE HELP Is there any way to force a background color to print in all browsers or at least IE & FF? In the past I have just used an actual image; instead of a background color, but I was wondering if there was a 100% sure way to do this. I tried using media="print" and !import - neither of these worked. So if there is a will, place let me know the way. My logo is defined as a background image in my .css. It appears in IE when I print/print preview, but in FF it does not. This is the .css code for the logo div: #logo { float: left; margin-left:1px; width: 200px; background:url(../images/mm-logo.jpg) no-repeat; height:50px;} Any ideas or suggestions? 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:
@media print {

#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? hello. i'm building a javascript application which will allow the user to select a file from his/her hard drive (using <input type='file' />) and display the image in the background. when the user hits submit, the image will be uploaded and in the future, the user will have the image hosted from the server. the reason i post this in the CSS forum is because the error is coming from CSS, not javascript. i need to know how to point the css to an image on the user's local machine. I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. 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 I have to design a site using a 750 pixels table. Of course, when I print the text, my text get cut off on the right hand side. Using a Print style sheet, is there any ways to avoid loosing the text on the right. Everywhere I look suggest to design into a 600 pixels table but they really want it to 750. Thanks for any help. hi I have 2 questions: - how do I programmatically remove default browser header/footer - how do I print a header on every page thanks. Im trying to write a better office backend. My client does alot of mailings and would like to print an avery 5163(this is not set in stone) form with addresses and send in the mail. Right Now: 1. Generate List. (I wrote the web-app that does this). 2. Copy it from the generated webpage. 3. Pastes it to M$ Word. 4. Adjust any formatting issues. 5. Print the list. What I'd like to do is 1. Generate List. (I wrote the web-app that does this). 2. Print the list.(The page would be formatted with CSS to achieve proper scale and dimension) Does anyone know where I would go to even get started on accomplishing this task? if you check out this website you'll immediately understand what the problem is about. The script I wrote, pulls pictures out of a database and displays them. I have a print feature (click the link that says: Ik wil de klassenlijst van **** afprinten). With Css I check wether or not a picture can be displayed on this page or if it has to be forced onto another page, when printed. Code:
<style type="text/css" media="print">
table {
page-break-befo auto;
}
</style>
When you check the webpage, you'll notice this row gives problems in IE. When I print the page from Internet Explorer: this row shows on the page, but not the picture that goes along with it. When I print the page from Mozilla: this row does not show on the page, neither the picture that goes along with it. as it should be Can someone help me? It is very important that the pagebreak is automagically forced when printed, because I can't guess the format on which people will print.
