I have a web page where I am using a stylesheet and the
attribute and value - media="print" - as below:
<link href="../page_print.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css"
media="print">
It works fine except, that the text that I want printed ends up in the
middle of the screen because elements made invisible in the stylesheet
still effect the text's positioning. Stylesheet is like this:
body {visibility:hid den;}
..print {
visibility:visi ble;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
As shown I have tried using absolute positioning for the printer style
sheet to force the text further up, but the text at the bottom of the page
then gets split over two pages. Is there a solution? I am using IE 6.
I have also tried using this approach:
body { display:none; }
..print { display:table; }
Nothing is displayed at all by doing this. All I am trying to do is wrap a
table containing text in print tags and ensure only that is printed. Can
someone post an example of achieving this?
Thanks. 5 1478

This displays nothing, any chance of a working example?

Yep. That's how the visibility property works. Invisible boxes still affect
layout. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#visibility
I have also tried using this approach:
body { display:none; } .print { display:table; }

Yep. That's how the display property works. Setting "display: none"
prevents the element AND ITS DESCENDANT ELEMENTS from being displayed. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#display-prop
What you need to do is use "display: none" on those elements that you don't
want to display. You can't use "display: none" on everything, and then undo
it for the elements you want to display.

Hi,
I'm implementing a printer friendly feature for all the pages on a web site.
I'm separating the header, content, and footer into separate ascx files,
which are contained in the main file. In the mail file I have a link button
which, supposedly, when clicked on, passes the current content page's url and
page title to the printer friendly page, which has a placeholder for the
content page. I could do this with session variables, but...

I am looking out to implement printer friendly version of a web page.
I do not want the header and footer show up in the print and I do not want
to use frames (it is a client decision). I want to avoid writing the code
again to make the printer friendly.
Is there any way which would allow me to make the developer friendly page
without lot of additional duplicate work.
Thanks in advance.
