CSS - Print Css - Does A Browser Resubmit A Page When It Uses The Print Stylesheet
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 Similar TutorialsHi all I am using a style sheet with the print media type to controll how my site looks when it is printed out. It works very well the only problem being that I have <div>s which make boxes for the content and I would like for the boxes to not get split upon diffrent pages. Idealy I would like to make it so that if the the <div> is going to split over two pages it just gets put at the start of the next page. This probaly isn't possiable but you never know. Any Ideas would be helpfull Nick Carlevaris 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? Can you only exclude elements from a Print stylesheet? I'd like to print only a table of data and nothing else on the web page in a print style sheet. Hi Could someone assist me in making a print stylesheet for this site please! http://calibrehr.com/new/ What I need is: just the logo to display (remove nav) The text in the orange block to span the width of the page Remove subnav Some how diplsay the text that is in the purple boxes below the main content text I am stuck as to what to do and could really appreciate some help Many thanks! Hello, I'm new to CSS. I've been developing a website in PHP. I have a report that is meant to be printed. It is formated for printing. However, if the user doesn't have his/her browser print page margins set to a max of 0.25in then some of the printed area will get clipped off. Can CSS be used to control these margins on the page? I've been looking into this and have been lead to the media = "print" area. However, it only seems to be controling the webpage's body margins and not the browser's print page setup margins. I've gotten to the point of using the following style code on my page, but now I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14pt;
}
body,td,th {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14pt;
}
body {
margin-left: 15px;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-right: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
.style4 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16pt;
font-weight: bold;
}
.style15 {font-size: 10pt}
.style21 {font-size: 18pt}

.style25 {font-size: 16pt}
.style28 {font-size: 12pt}
-->
</style>
<link href="file:///C|/Webs/ures/k058_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

.style22 {font-size: 9pt}
.style23 {font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;}
.styleprint {
margin: 0in 0in 0in 0in;
margin-top: 0in;
margin-left: 0in;
}
-->
</style>
I added the ".styleprint" style to the page only to try and control the browser's print page setup margins. What you see above are actually two attempts to do this. Like I said above the margin settings seem to only be contoling the margins on the displayed page and not the browser's print page setup margins. How can I control the browser's print page setup margins? CAN I control the browser's print page setup margins? If I cannot, what do you do to make sure that the user can print a "printer formated" page with the correct margins? Thanks, Paul One of the websites, that I frequently visit, uses different stylesheet for printing. I want the same (i.e. "screen.projection") stylesheet to be used while printing. I will like to have a bookmarklet that will disable the "print" stylesheet mentioned on the second line in the following example. <style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">/*<![CDATA[*/ @import "/style/main.css"; /*]]>*/</style> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href= "/style/commonPrint.css"/> Shantanu Oak shantanuo@yahoo.com 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 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. 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? This is a very interesting bug and I have been trying to do a little bit of hacking but with no success here. So, thought anyone of you would know what I'm missing.. The problem here is that it showed up just fine on the webpage but not in Print Preview or Print-Out for IE. Code:
<style type="text/css">
divBlackBox1
{
margin: 50px auto;
padding: 0px;
width: 400px;
height: 4px;
display: block; /* for IE stupidity (to make height work correctly with the correct pixels)... */
font-size: 1pt; /* for IE stupidity (to make the smaller height work due to default font-size)... */
overflow: hidden; /* Problem is that it doesn't work for print preview or print-out in IE... */
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
<div class="divBlackBox1"></div>
Thanks, FletchSOD 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. 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 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.
