CSS - Printer Friendly Page

Hi All :

Currently i'm running in .NET platform together with VB.net and ASP.

I faced a problem regarding to the PAGE BREAK html tag. The problem is when i want to print out a report, it will show with scroll bar and the report is very long. So what i have to do is to apply Page-Break-After/Before into the HTML. how am i know if the report already apply the Page Break function or not? And the only style i can use is CSS. Anyone familiar with this? It's urgent !! Hope can get anyone help asap.


Regards,
JeFFery

Hello,

Is it possible to create a CCS stylesheet that will not only produce a printer-friendly HTML page, but create that page in the form of columns like a newsletter?

What I don't want are columns like a web page, that simply read straight down to the end of the page, giving little regard to the fact that text in column one extends to the next page before continuing to subsequent columns.

I want the text to read down from the left column to the right column, and then continue to each subsequent page, always reading from the left column to the right column--just like a newsletter.

I know I can use PDF, but I find those file huge and combersome, and would prefer to create this in HTML & CSS if possible.

I searched this board using "printer version" & columns, and when I found nothing I searched just "printer version" and found nothing. I could search just using columns, but wading through several postings about creating columns for a screen doesn't seem productive.

Thanks in advance. Angie

Is there a way to use CSS to format printer output specifically for a sheet of paper such that page breaks can be formatted in at specific points?

what I am wanting to do is have a reverse of this so that all the areas i contain within a given <div class="printerOnly"></div> is not shown on the screen but is ready to be printed, when the print button is pressed of course. and all the other areas are not printed.

is this possible ?
Code:

<style type="text/css">
@media all {
  .page-break { display: none; }
}

@media print
{
  .page-break { display: block; page-break-befo  always; }
}

@media print {
	div.screenOnly { display: none; }
}
@media print {
	div.noborder { border-width: 0px;  border-style: none; }
}

</style>


<div class="screenOnly">
this shows on the screen
</div>

<div>this is printed</div>

I have this proplem on my site where it looks perfect in IE but in Fire Fox it looks like cr@p.

I want my CSS to look the same way on Fire Fox how can I fix this? This is my CSS doc

Code:

a:link    {color: black; text-decoration: underline}
a:visited {color: black; text-decoration: underline}
input {font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;}



body      {
background-color: 000000; 
margin:0;
padding:0;
line-height: 1.5em;
}
hr         {color: black}

.top{

width: 100%;
background-image: 
url('bar2.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x

}


div#who
{
   background-color: E5E5E5;

   margin-left: 22;
   margin-top: 2;

}

}
   div#p { }


/*Page Layout*/



#maincontainer{
width: 969px; /*Width of main container*/
margin: 0 auto; /*Center container on page*/
}


#contentwrapper{
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

#contentcolumn{
margin-left: 100px; /*Set left margin to LeftColumnWidth*/
}

#leftcolumn{
float: left;
width: 160px; /*Width of left column*/
height: 836px;
margin-left: -990px; /*Set left margin to -(MainContainerWidth)*/
background: #898989;
}

.innertube{
margin: 10px; /*Margins for inner DIV inside each column (to provide padding)*/
margin-top: 0;
}

I am generating a list with PHP that is going to be printed out and hung up for display. I would prefer if the following weren't printed.

1) Top Left - Page Title (I know I can have this disappear by having a blank title, but I would prefer to have one)
2) Top Right - Page URL
3) Bottom Left - Page number (ex: 1 of 2)
4) Bottom Right - Date

Is there any way to print the list without these? I wasn't sure if there is some css I can use, or if this is something that the printer prints automatically.

Thanks

I am trying to make a pattern tile the full height of the page and match up with an image at the top. It's a little bit hard to explain and a lot easier to show, so I've documented my first two attempts below.

Failed Solution 1 - Pattern as a part of a div set at height: 100%; with outer divs also set at height: 100%;

See attempt 1: Code:

http://www.hesterdesigns.com/Web2/yellow.html

Problem is that the divs aren't growing to the height of the page, and so the pattern isn't tiling the whole height of the page.

Failed Solution 2 - The Pattern is part of the body background which tiles on y.

See attempt 2: Code:

http://www.hesterdesigns.com/Web2/index.html

Any suggestions?

I'm hoping to find a way to do this using only CSS and without having to resort to Javascript solutions.

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.

Alright... I give up on this one. The copyright moves up and down by a pixel or two between different pages. Go from the Home page to the Diabetes page and look at the footer and you will see. I have tried changing the margins, padding, and line-height on the text in the footer. I can get it to temporarily work but as soon as I change anything above the copyright (i.e. in the #content div) like line-height, add text, and etc it moves the copyright between pages again. Basically the content div is pushing down on the copyright differently depending on the amount of text that is in the article. Because other than the text all the articles pages code is exactly the same. All the footer text is a PHP include if that makes a difference. Thanks for looking at it because I have been working on this for quite a few days now and it is buggin the ba-jesus out of me?

I have a theory, the footer (thats where the copyright is) is absolute positioned. Therefore it is taken out of the flow of the document. Could this be the cause of my problem? So if I were to place all the copyright and footer links within another div within the footer div would that bring those back into flow? Like if I gave that new div a position of static or something? Or is it out of the flow regardless because it's sitting inside of an absolute positioned div? Thanks a lot - here is the site in question

Hi,

I have a front page which is one image only, no text. The image is centered horizontally (i.e. a simply text-align: center; ). My question is - how do I centre it vertically? (no matter what the resolution of the website visitor is).

i.e. Currently the image is at the top of my screen. I would like it to be in the centre, both horizontally and vertically.

Many thanks!

I could do this using Frames but I absolutely loathe them so I need to do it in CSS

I have an A-Z across the top of the page which stays there while the results scroll below. Unfortunately, while I can do basic CSS, complicated stuff like this is way beyond me!

Help would be most appreciated!

Hello everyone, I've been working on my school website for some time now - but I recently started over where the markup and style sheets are concerned. Both my html and css validate.

This is how it looks in FF, and that is how I would like to to be in FF, and any common browser that the user may be operating:

Thank you!

Hey guys. You can run an image, a border, text, whatever you want off the top of the page, but can you do it with the bottom of the page.

Code:

.top {
	position: relative;
	left: 0px;
	top: -75px;
  }

That will of course run an image off the top of the page, but

Code:

.bottom {
	position: relative;
	left: 0px;
	bottom: -250px;
  }

this line of code will simply but the image relative to the top image and it's completely visible, meaning the user can view the entire image simply by scrolling down. I'm placing my <id>'s in tables right now, but I'm open to whatever. I simply want an image consistently, running off the top of the page and the bottom of the page at all times. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

When I start my page layout, it always starts around an inch down from the top of the browser. Ive seen websites, like techeblog.com that start all the way from the top. How do i do that?

Thanks.
