CSS - I Need Help With Print="media"

Hi guys,

For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ?


Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html).

Thank you

Hi,

I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser.

Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important.

I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML

Here is my Html

PHP Code:
<DIV id="nav"> 
              <ul>
                <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li>
                <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li>
                <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li>
                 <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li>
                <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li>
              </ul>
</div> 





Pretty straight forward, now my css


PHP Code:
#nav
{
    width:1005px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: left;

#nav ul
{
    list-style: none;

Hi

I have some css styles that work like I want when displayed in a browser but when I print the screen to a PDF, almost all the info is lost, reverting to a single long column of text. Do you need to define separate 'screen' and 'print' versions of a style? If so, how do you include them in a page? Do you have to jump through any special hoops to insure the browser uses the correct media type (screen/print) for the correct media?

TIA

that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently.

However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image.

If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall.

(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html

This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work?

Is there by chance a feature of MS Front Page that helps us out by changing height and width attributes to upper case,
which CSS does not recognize? If so, is there a way to disable this feature?
What is the popular alternative (among those in the know) to MS FP? The "normal-html-preview" screen format in FP is great.
Or, can we simply get rid of the height and width calls in "img src=" links?
Thank you for any attention to this.

Hi guys!

Let's say I have this IN BODY directly:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<ul id="menu">
...
</ul>

Or should I do it like this:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<div id="menu">
<ul>
...
</ul>
</div>

UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??)

Thank you

I have a very simple question:

I have this html code:
Code:

<div id="text">
<p><a>text</a></p>
<p><a class="red">text</a></p>
<p><a>text</a></p>
</div>

And this CSS style:
Code:

.red {  color: red;  }    
#text a{  color: blue;  }

I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side.

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!

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";

In the media=print style sheet I want to change the location
of the div containing the material to be printed.
Using this in the print style sheet does not move the div.
#divname {position: absolute; left:50px; top:100px; width:200px;}

Can a div be moved with a new style sheet.

I've looked over my syntax a hundred times, but I can't get the print preview in IE to match the style declarations I've put in my css document. None of them work, so obviously it's something i've messed up in the overall structure of the code, and not minor errors.

This is at the end of my .css document that I linked to my html:

Code:

 @media print {body {font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif}
               a {text-decoration: none; color:pink}
               img {border-width: 0px}
               #hideprint {display: none}
               #instruction {display: none}
               #lpmap {page-break-after: always}
               .notes {page-break-inside: avoid; margin: 30px 30px 30px 30px; }}

Thanks

Hi,

For some reason my css sheet for printing is producing huge text on the printouts in the main section of the page and I can't figure out why.

style sheet included by:
<link rel='stylesheet' href='print.css' type='text/css' media='print'>

section in question:

.pr{color : #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10px}

for some reason the font size is being ignored and the text come s out massive.

the whole code for the page is too long to post but the section in question has a lot of tables enclosed in:

<span class='pr'>
</span>

I know the stylesheet is being included properly cos it is hiding lots of other sections.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Or do I have to replicate every CSS class in print? That would double the size of my CSS file! What's the correct way?

Will this work as I hope?
Code:

div.news {
    width:690px;
    padding:10px;
    margin:0;
    float:left;
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
}

.button_div {
    width:180px;
    padding:10px;
    background-color:#953956;
    cursor:pointer;
}

.body_text {
    color:#284186;
    line-height:130%;
    font-size:11px;
}

@media print {

 div.news {background-color:#EEEEEE;}
 .button_div {display:none;}
 .body_text {color:#000000;}
}

Also, is it ok to do this? Any issues I should be aware of?
Code:

// CSS
p.italic {font-style: italic;}
p.large {font-size: 150%;}

// HTML
<p class="italic large">Italic and large.</p>

Thanks,

Hello! Newbie back again. I'm rolling along on using CSS for the first time (hooray!) including that wonderful bit of coding in order to center a #Container. The threads here have been *very* helpful.

Due to printing problems with having everything centered at a fixed width (text on the right getting chopped off), I've created a style for media="screen" AND media="print" which works just fine in Netscape and IE.

Question: When I pull the style out of the page so that I can reference it as an external css, do I need to create TWO files?

Also, I would appreciate any/all comments about my first attempt so far. Is there a better way I should be designating font-family and margins for my elements?

<style type="text/css" media="screen">

h1 {color:#003366; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold; margin:0.4cm 0.4cm}
p {font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%; margin:0.4cm 0.4cm}
ul {list-style-image: url("redarrow.gif"); font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%; margin:1cm 1cm}
a:link {color:#003366} a:visited {color:#003366} a:hover {background:#ccccff; text-decoration:none}
html, body {margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; /*for IE stupidity*/}

#container
{
position: relative; /*The container must be positioned
/*in order to contain positioned
/*elements*/
margin: 0 auto; /*This is the proper way to center an element*/
width: 700px;
border: 1px solid gray;
text-align: left; /*corrects for IE hack*/
padding: 0px;
}
</style>

<style type="text/css" media="print">

h1 {color:#003366; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold}
p {font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%}
ul {list-style-image: url("redarrow.gif"); font-family:sans-serif; font-size:85%}
a:link {color:#003366} a:visited {color:#003366} a:hover {background:#ccccff; text-decoration:none}
</style>

And here's the page I'm working with so far:

Thanks so much for all your help.
