CSS - Css Printing: Page Size

Hey guys,

I'm working on a website and I have been notified by the client that the page does not print correctly in IE. Prints just fine in Mozilla however. I tested this and sure enough it cuts off the rightmost 100 or so pixels. The entire page exists in a table that is centered and set to be 729 pixels wide. I tried attaching an extra stylesheet:
Code:

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

but that has no effect. Even when I use the other stylesheet to move the content to the top left corner of the page with no borders, it still prints the page centered and lops off the rightmost 100 or so pixels.

Any ideas?

(telling them to print in another browser is not an option unfortunately)

When printing at the top there is Page 1 of 1 and at the bottom the web address comes up, is there a way to get rid of these?

Regards

I am trying to update an old site with lots of pages, I am trying to create a printing stylesheet (first time as you may guess) I have managed to exclude what I do not want to print but some text is still running off the RHS of the page.

I have tried playing with page widths and margins but to no effect, any suggestions? this is what I currently have:

TBODY {
position: static;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

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 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 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 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!

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?

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?

Hello: I am building a website for a broad audience. I need there to be an option for text to be resized for those who have trouble with reading screens. I am trying to have the text on HTML pages be changeable through CSS.

Two examples I offer are (URL address blocked: See forum rules) and (URL address blocked: See forum rules)

On the top right corner of the screen, there are options to change the text size without switching to a new HTML page. I believe this is done using CSS (perhaps Live StyleSheet Selector). I'm not really sure.

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I have a problem with this site - shop dot meenola dot com (Sorry - i am a new member and therefore cannot post a proper URL) - In FF the page is always scrollable to the right although there is nothing there and as far as i can tell the HTML ends in the initially viewable area.
Not usually a problem for most - but using a macbook scrollpad, you tend to fly "offscreen" rather easily.
Have tested in Chrome, IE, Opera and Safari - all of which display correctly (The page ends when the HTML does).

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,

Here's the site I'm working with:
http://www.cjfusion.com

I want to get that image centered on the browser window and then depending on how big the viewers screen is, the browser will cover up the left and the right. I hope that makes sense. I almost want it to be fluid, but I'm unsure how to do that.

Ask questions if this doesnt make sense. Its hard to explain.
