CSS - Printing A Page

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?

I have a simple page layout using div's and CSS, but the alignment becomes screwed up when printing the page. My CSS for the layout is:

#OneColumn {
width:575px;
background:#fff;
}

#LeftColumn {
float:left;
width:458px;
background:#fff;
padding-top: 15px;

}

#RightColumn {

float: right;
width:113px;
background:#fff;
text-align:center;
padding-top: 38px;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10px;
color: #000;
}

My code is formatted in the same order so, on the actual page OneColumn is on top of the left and right columns. If the page is short (less than on page) it prints and looks fine in print preview.

Problem 1: In IE 6
If the page is longer than one page when printed the information that is in OneColumn is on the first page of the printout and the rest of the information (from the left and right column) is on the next pages.

Problem 2: In IE 6 and Mozilla Firefox 0.8
Also, the right column is used to display thumbnail-pics that correlate to the text in the left column. At times I used styles to space the pictures. Here is one of them:

.spacePic {
margin-top: 95px
}

This works fine except for when printing the images, they generally are printed lower than they apprear on the screen.

Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!

I am trying to print an HTML page in the landscape orientation using a css print style sheet. I have added the link to the style sheet in my document Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

the code in the stylesheet itself is Code:

@page {size: landscape; margin: 0.25in;}

When I print the page from Internet Explorer the settings from my browser are used. What do I need to do to have the page printed in the landscaped orientation without the user configuring their browser settings?

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to print address labels from a web page. The page will either be ASP or ASP.NET. Is it possible to get enough control over the print layout to create consistent labels? The browser will be IE6 and the printer will be printing onto standard address labels that you buy for this sort of thing.

If it is possible, could someone please point me in the right direction, I am stumped.

Thanks,

Matt

I have a report that prints a list o people and a select box that will run the same list in a form format (all on one page) so that the user can print this off and get one form per page.

I am using page-break after always as part of a div that contains the info to be printed (this is a loop from a db query).

On my printer and a few others it works like a charm, but I have a user that gets the first page (first loop) no problem, but after that he gets parts of the pages when he prints (they display fine on the screen in the browser - IE6). Some pages come out with half the info (the bottom half is missing.

Anyone ever hear of this issue?

He is using

WinXP
IE 6
Printer is HP 855 (or something like that)

Hi,

I am trying to remove the annoying url and page numbers that appear at the bottom of a page when you print a website - I want to do this using CSS so that anybody who prints my site wont get those annoying references, not change my browser. Anybody got any ideas on how to do so?

I am using PHP to generate labels and I want to print them. I am wondering if anyone could help me learn how to set the page margins? By default it looks to be printing 30px or so margins. The label sheets I am using have margins of about 5-10px. I was thinking to set margins would be something like this:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;
} 
</style>

but that does not seem to work, any help out there?

Thanks!

I am trying to copy a pdf, and it is imperitive that the pages match up: page 1 on the pdf is page 1 on the html file when printed and so on.

I am using font 12pt sizes. if it prints out correctly on my computer will it print out correctly on all since I am using the pt instead of something relative like <font size=3>?


if this will not work for all then does anyone have any recomendations on how to do it?

Hello, I was wondering how to link to print a single ID without printing anything else...

Hiya,

This page http://www.magikwebs.co.uk/ranch/indian.html wasn't printing too good so I've set up a stylesheet for print only, and it has improved, but it still doesn't quite look right.

It leaves a big gap on page 2 and misses a line out. It looks 100% fine in Firefox. I guess it's an IE bug. Anyone know what it is and how to avoid it?

Thanks,

John

I have a page that displays text of an article. It's all contained in a <DIV>, of course.

I'd like the "Print" option the allow the user to print out just the article, and not the rest of the crap on the page (ads, navigation, so on.)

I know vaguely that you can have alternate style sheets for printing and other types of display, but how to include just the text in the output?

Hi !

I've read that it's possible with CSS to adapt the visual style of a web page on the output medium.
If I didn't understand that completely wrong, it means that with CSS I can format a String like "Hello World" to give him font size 10 in my browser and font size 20 if i print the page.

Is this correct ?
Does someone of you habe any kind of coding example therefore ?
That would be great

TIA

Hi folks,
I am working on online reporting system and was wondering if anyone could help me.

The report searches through 25000 records to show a report of profit and costing etc, the problem I am having is when the client wants to print the report off they want a logo at the top of every page, the report is always different sizes depending on the search criteria they enter so Is there a way in php I can print the long report out with a header at the top of every printed page.

I hope this makes sense and thanks to anyone whoe replies.
