You need to configure IE to print backgrounds, which is turned off by
default.

Well, IE is an application, and it is designed to allow the user to
configure certain things according to the user's desires. So, if background
printing is turned off, it is turned off because the user has decided to
leave it turned off. Now, if you had a servant, and you told the servant to
cook dinner, and a stranger came to your house, and told the servant *not*
to cook dinner, and your servant did what the stranger asked instead of what
you told the servant to do, what would you think of the usefulness of your
servant?
Now, if the stranger asked *you* if he could have the servant stop cooking
dinner, and you said "sure," it would not be improper for your servant to
stop cooking dinner, since the servant is *your* servant. So, if you want
users to turn on background printing in their browsers, I would suggest
putting a message in the page that asks them to.

Hi
I want rows of a table to appear in alternating background colours. Having looked around the web I can't find any solution apart from waiting for the next version of CSS, so I tried building one myself, but I need some help to finish it.
I use the getAttribute('rowIndex') to return the position of a row within the table and apply modulo 2 to return a 0 or 1 indicating an even or odd row number, from which I apply the alternating...

Can't a good browser keep track of visited vs. unvisited link colors?
Is my site deficient as I have not messed with link colors?
Does Nielsen address why all this can't be left up to the browser?
Are link colors supposed to be special, like background images, to make
a big impression?

I read the faq, and it mentions that IE 4 on windows requires setting a
printing option to allow background colors to be printed.
Things change, life goes on, other browsers come into existence....
So, is there a way in CSS to say "Yeah, print these background colors",
without the user having to turn on an option that will then apply to all
pages printed?
Thanks,

I would swear that when I developed in A97, I could change the back
colour of a form.
However, in Windows XP, on both A97 and A2003, there no longer is a
property showing in the format tab for form properties for a back colour.
I think the themed control idea is pretty good in that a developer can
really go out on a limb if s/he chooses all kinds of fancy background
colours for his/her app since colours selection is a very subjective...

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to create some code which can automatically update my
forms formatting?
I have a small database with a form which is periodically changed. When
the db is returned to me the form looks completely different. Different
fore- and background colors, font types etc...
Is there something in code I can use to set the form back to how I
normally use it?

Is there really any advantage to using DIV elements with float style
properies, vs. the old method of TABLE and TR and TD?
I'm finding that by using DIV, it still involves the same number of
elements in the HTML to get everything just right. When you consider
the class attribute on the DIV elements, there's not much size savings
anymore for using DIV.
There are other disadvantages to not using TABLE/TR/TD, such as the
lack of ability...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
