Problem printing website developed with CSS:Nothing prints!

9 New Member

I'm developing the external corporate website for my company in Visual Studio 2003 using html, css, and a user web control for the header/navigation.

When I try to print any of the pages only the header image (an <img> located in the Web User control) and the footer (also <img>) will print, but none of the text, graphics, background colors, or background images that are included.

My page is a liquid 3 column + 1 header + 1 footer CSS design which I suspect is the culprit. Are there any tricks for printing out in CSS? Has anyone had this problem before?

I will post some of my code here but unfortunately I cannot post a URL because at this point it is internal only.

Thanks for any help!

note: i've very quickly and roughly edited out my company name and a bunch of content to make it smaller. There may be errors.

I displayed your code in my browser and it prints what is displayed. So the culprit must be in one of your included files, such as the CSS ones.

Are you sure that you don't have a { display:none; } somewhere in your CSS files? Or a separate media="print" include?
