CSS - Print Overflow
Hello all.
How can I print my scrollable table? I tried this.. table.sql { overflow: visible; } in my print.css but it does'nt work. Please help, I'm stumped! Tracy Similar TutorialsMy CSS works in IE and Mozilla but not Netscape or Opera I have a 2 column website, built with 2 relative position DIVs, with overflow set to auto. Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there). Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately? Here are the related parts of my CSS: /* CSS styles */ BODY { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size : 10pt; background : Black; color : White; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; overflow: hidden; } HTML { overflow: hidden; } #LeftNavDIV { position:relative; width:185px; height:100%; float:left; padding:2px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:1px solid white; overflow:auto; } #ContentDIV { position:relative; height:100%; width:75%; float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px dashed #336699; overflow:auto; } 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 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? 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. How do I make the DIV overflow in the below codes? It works in IE but not firefox. <html > <head> <style type="text/css"> html, body { height : 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <table style="height : 100%; width : 100%"> <tr style="height : 64px; background-color : Blue;"> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="height : auto; background-color : red;"> <td> <!-- THIS IS THE PROBLEM --> <div style="height :auto; overflow-y : scroll"> <!-- THIS IS THE PROBLEM --> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="height : 64px; background-color : Blue;"> <td></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> hi, I have 3 DIV's, The first div is like a menu header DIV and the second DIV is the menu links and the third DIV has some information I want to click on the first DIV then show the second DIV like a menu problem is the third DIV moves down.. How can i let the second DIV overflow over the third DIV without it moving down? Thanks My page looks decent in Firefox but in IE the overflow property doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps you can give me some pointers as to which tags may be messing up the display in Internet Explorer. The link to the page in question. http://www.paulvincentgandolfi.com/blog/?page_id=123 Thanks this is the code i'm having problems with: Code: <style type="text/css"> body { font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666; margin : 0; padding : 0; } /* text */ h1 { font: bold 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height:30px; } /* div classes */ div.row { position:relative; left:10px; width:326px; height:20px; z-index:1; margin-bottom:8px; text-align:right; } div.cell_title, div.cell_content { position:absolute; top:0px; float:left; padding:0px 0px 0px 8px; border:1px solid #E4E4E4; text-align:left; line-height:17px; } div.cell_title { background-color: #E4E4E4; left:0px; width:100px; z-index:2; } div.cell_content { background-color:#FCFCFC; left:100px; width:224px; z-index:3; } /* form elements */ .input { font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666; background-color: #FCFCFC; height:15px; width:213px; border:0; } .textarea { font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666; background-color: #FCFCFC; height:100px; width:213px; border:0; overflow:auto; } </style> <h1>Contact</h1> <form action="?menu=contact" method="post" name="contact"> <div class="row"> <div class="cell_title"><label for="name">name:</label></div> <div class="cell_content"><input type="text" class="input" name="name" id="name"/></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="cell_title"><label for="email">email:</label></div> <div class="cell_content"><input type="text" class="input" name="email" id="email" /></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="cell_title"><label for="message">message:</label></div> <div class="cell_content"><textarea class="textarea" name="message" id="message"></textarea></div> </div> <div class="row"> <input type="image" src="includes/images/btn_add.gif" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </div> </form> My problem is that my "row" div's overlay if their content is larger. Because of that i cannot see the send button from my form (the textarea height is bigger that the height of the "row" div - i need the layer to expland according to the content, but i don't want it to overlay on what is after it!). I hope that you understood my problem and could help my with it. Thanks in advance! Hi all, I'm working on the site http://boolarongpress.com.au and have hit a problem. In IE7 if you click into either the title or author search fields in the left hand nav menu the cpu usage maxes out and IE7 hangs. There is no javascript attached to these inputs. The problem seems to be caused by a line in the css, overflow: auto; This is set for the content div so that it scrolls as if it were a frame. If I remove this line from the css the problem dissappears but of course the content div no longer scrolls. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix/work around this issue? Cheers, Peter what i'm trying to accomplish is two boxes next to each other inside a div, which i can scroll horizontally to see the two boxes. if you copy the code below it works correctly, only because the width of the parent div is set. Code: <style type="text/css"> #container { overflow:scroll; width:100px; } #parent { overflow:hidden; width:400px; } .box1 { border:1px solid black; float: left; height: 101px; width: 101px; } </style> <div id='container'> <div id='parent'> <div class='box1'></div> <div class='box1'></div> </div> </div> if i change width:900px in the parent div to width:auto then the boxes go underneath one another. That's the problem, the parent div should auto adjust to the width of both boxes. i'd really appreciate solving this. i can't have a fixed width on the parent div it should auto adjust and both boxes should be next to each other. While working on my site, I am testing it in Mozilla Firefox 1.0pr and IE 6. In my code: body, td, iframe, table, div, tr { font-variant: small-caps; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #ffffff; background-color: #666666; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-arrow-color: #666666; scrollbar-base-color: #666666; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #666666; scrollbar-face-color: #666666; scrollbar-highlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-shadow-color: #666666; } a:link { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } select, option, textarea, input { border: #ffffff 1px solid; font-size: 11px; font-variation: normal; font-family: Verdana; background-color: #666666; } I would add "overflow: auto;" right under 'body, td, iframe, table, div, tr {' so that in Mozilla the scrollbars would not show up. However, when I load it in IE, the windows do not scroll at all. Is there a quick-fix for this, or what can I do so it will work properly in both browsers? Hi, I am trying to display an image (in its own div) which extends past the height of the container div it is in. The problem is that in FF it chops off the piece of the image (as overflow is hidden??) that extends below the container div, it doesn't in any version of IE. However, if I don't set overflow to hidden, in IE6, the portion of the image that extends also makes the container divs background color display below the height I have set for it... Hope you get what I mean Anyway, here is the code Code: <div id="banner-container"> <div id="banner"> <div id="banner-txt"> <img src="images/banner-txt.png" /> <p> Lorem ipsum...</p> </div><!-- banner txt --> <div id="banner-img"> <img src="images/banner-img1.png" alt="the image" /> </div><!-- banner img --> </div><!--banner--> </div><!-- banner container --> And the css Code: #banner-container{width:100%; height:314px; margin:0 auto; padding:0; background-color:#212582; overflow:hidden;} #banner{width:920px; height:314px; margin:0 auto; padding:0; background-image:url(../images/banner-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; } #banner-txt{width:519px; height:280px; float:left;} #banner-img{width:340px; height:314px; position:relative; padding-top:10px; float:right;} Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to stop chopping off the end of the image in FF?? Thanks... EDIT: Some screens... Firefox Internet Explorer I currently have a drop down menu on a sidebar that when you roll over the buttons(each its own list item) a drop down menu appears over top of the buttons underneath the one your mouse is on. This works fine in Firefox of course but in IE the drop down menu goes underneath the other buttons. Any suggestions how to fix this? Please look at the site I'm designing for my friend he http://www.vpntunnel.net/newsite/ http://www.vpntunnel.net/newsite/css/general.css Notice how #content is running over the specified width, well outside the #container, even. This is noticeable with h1 on the homepage and on the FAQ page. I'm not quite sure what's causing it. Also, if someone could help me center the page in IE, that'd be great. I'd rather not use text-align: center; in the body. Thanks for reading my question. I have 2 sections. They are #info and #menu. The way I have my html set up is, I have <div id="info"> then <div id="menu"> that way, the height of "info" will always be at least as high as "menu". My problem arizes when "info" is higher than "menu". In this case I would like "info" to not grow in height, but rather have the Overflow: auto; come into effect, and have a scrollbar on the right hand side of the "info" section. For an example of what is happening right now check out www.pierced.ca/Kelly/index.htm index.htm looks the way I want all the pages to look. if you click on Cards, Tags, or Seasonal, you'll see how the page differs from index.htm or the contact, or order pages. Is there a way to say, height can be no bigger than the current height of "menu"? Thanks, Brad Can anyone give me a lead as to where to start fixing the job IE6 is displaying my website? It looks ok in IEmac, safari, firefox, opera and netscape. My style sheet validates, and the xhtml for the page is valid with exception of the php counter within the div on the side, yet I took that out and tested and the same results occurred in IE6. Any help is greatly appreciated. url = bluewebpages.com EDIT: side menu, with addition of 'height:15px' to the #side ul li a, should display fine when i upload the changed css file, but the posts still display out of whack... Hi If you take a lookk at this http://www.premier-resin-systems.co.uk/home/ in IE5 you will see 2 orange lines, these should have text and titles in them. Viw them in IE6, FF etc you will see what it is meant to look like. Why is this, is it the overflow:auto; I have stuck on the productbox class? Also the voucher image in IE6 should be a few pixels under the orange bar. Could somone shed some light on this as it is driving me nuts!!! Thanks for any help Hello, I have a basic test page with 3 boxes ( http://www.pages4u.net/css/overflow.html ). Firefox renders my page as I want but IE makes it very different way. How can I correct the IE version? Thanks in advance! |
