<a> doesn't print

[nathj]

Hi,

I've just developed a print style sheet for a site I'm working on and it's pretty much working as expected. The only trouble is that links aren't displaying.

I know that a link on printed document is not much use and I know there are way of getting the href out. But the trouble is more basic than that - the actual link text is not printing.

So if on screen it says "Read our story for full details" and our story is a link the print out says "Read for full details"

the CSS I have for printing links is:

a.inlineLink a.inlineLinkWhite
{             
    background            : transparent; 
    text-decoration        : underline;
    color                : #000000;    
    font-size            : 12pt; 
    display            : inline; 
}
 

As you can tell this is used on the page with links that have a class of 'inlineLink', the rules for that are slightly different.

It seems that most of my print stylesheet is working but this does not. Can anyone point out what's missing from the CSS?

Many thanks

First: What Web browser(s) have you tried this on? Also, is there a particular browser you're targeting (if it's an Intranet or other such private site), or is this a general-purpose site.

Second: Can you link to an example or test case with the "full package"-- the HTML, CSS, and any JavaScript-- in a form that the behavior is triggered? This could be the result of the CSS you've shown, other CSS taking precedence, HTML structure, JavaScript interference, or even a browser bug from an interaction of any of these.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply. In answer to your questions it happen on the four major browsers (FF, IE, O, S) I'm using Vista as the OS but it also occurs on XP.

However, there is no need to worry any more (though I'm sure you weren't worried). I re-read the CSS structure and the way the files were linked and discovered some conflicting rules that were causing my problem. I sorted the rules out and it all works lovely.

Thanks for the help.
