CSS - Page Width When Printing

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 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?

Dom.

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!

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 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!

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 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)

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?

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?

Howcome:

html, body {
color: #06F;
background-color: #000;
font-size: 16px;
text-align: center;
width: 768px;
}

Doesn't center the page in the browser? How can I center it?

Output example on my website here.

I'm new to web development and I'm trying to figure out how to make my page a set width, if the view size is less than a certain amount I want the width scroll bar to appear as opposed to the default which rearranges everything?

Some examples of what I'm talking about:
youtube
stackoverflow
darkroastedblend

(can't post urls)

Can anyone point me in the right direction or show me how this is done please?

Hi ,

I am trying to print my html page in the landscape mode.I should print this

automatically in landscape mode with css orientation landscape.

i am using the below code to print all tables in my html page in landscape

mode

@page rotated { size : landscape }
table { page : rotated }


Its not working .

Is this write or wrong?
Is there any other way to do it.

Thanks,

On http://www.h****inson.co.uk/h****inson5.4 (I guess you can work out the name of the site...I've used a tiny-url in the link though) a horizontal scrollbar is displayed even though there is not content (as far as I can see) that is pushing the sides out this far.

Although it is not detremental to the website, can anyone please suggest what is wrong.

The main css code is at http://www.h****inson.co.uk/h****inson5.4/files/css.css

Thanks for any help.

Hi

I don't know if this is a CSS issue, but how do you allow limit the movement of web pages when you drag IE window.

So if its fixed it can be structured so that it can be seen by users who have a resolution of 800 X 600.

And if its not fixed, then the page is stretched when you enlarge the window.

Cheers

Greetings,

I am writing a page that uses CSS to currently place three columns, left, center, and right. I have written the graphics and remainder of the page to fit 1024 x 768. However, when I execute the page, my columns fill the entire resolution (for instance 1280 x 1024) rather than fitting into a 1024 width.

What I would like to do is constrain my three columns to a total width of 1024px. The three columns in my CSS look something like this:

Code:

#leftcol {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bolder;
	border: thin none #EF4138;
	margin: 4px;
	padding: 4px;
	width: 220px;
	position: absolute;
	height: 280px;
	left: 1px;
	top: 354px;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#centercol {
	border: thin none #EF4138;
	margin: 4px 240px;
	padding: 4px;
}
#rightcol {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	border: thin none #EF4138;
	margin: 4px;
	padding: 4px;
	position: absolute;
	height: 280px;
	width: 220px;
	top: 354px;
	right: 1px;
}

Is there a CSS command that can constrain these three columns to be only 1024, or must I use an HTML table?

Thanks,
Korky
