how to force print of CSS background image?

Hi,

We have the following in our stylesheet, which acts as a page header:

#homepageheader { left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; height: 183px;
background-image: url(graphics/header-salmoninbucket. jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #B6C7B6; }

When you print, however, this doesn't appear.

Is there any way to force the print?

Thanks
Nath.

Hi,

not exactly what you're looking after, but as an alternative you could
use an image placed in a div, instead of using a background-image. Use
position: absolute and a low z-index, and you may get an acceptable
result.

Thank you for the sensible reply.

I really just wondered if there was a way to change that setting from within
a page, or from within CSS. I guess not.


if you want the header to print don't make it a background image, make it
content.

I have seen lots of examples where some HTML text is replaced with a background image using CSS. For example, replacing the text of an <h1> with a graphical logo, like so: CSS: h1 span { display: none; } h1 { height: 100px; background: url("mycompany.gif") no-repeat 35px 40px; } HTML: <h1><span>My Company</span></h1>

How do I print a background image? I read another article that says as long as print background becomes a default for IE settings, we need to "cheat" a little to print a site as close to what we see on the browser. So we created a "false" image of the background image, kept it from being displayed on site, but on the print sheet, calls for the "false image" Problem is i have a big gap between the "False" image and the next line. How do I solve...
