Hi all,
Situation:
A (rather long) page that contains a lot of divs.
Some are visible (display:inline ) at a certain time, other not.
The javascript is responsible for divs to be visible or not.
Question:
If the browser is displaying some divs, and the user gives a printcommand
for the page, can I be sure only the visible parts are printed?
On my machine this is working fine (W2000/IE6), but I hope it will work on
all setups that support display:inline and display:none (= every modern
browser I think).
Could this give problems for different printers/printdrivers?
Or can I trust that if the browser can handle divs right, it will send the
correct commands to the printer?
(My problem is that the target environment (intranet somewhere) is somewhat
diverse.)
Any advise is very welcome. :-)
Regards,
Erwin Moller 3 2263

In general there could be a stylesheet or stylesheets for printing and
CSS rules for precedence and cascade should dictate whether what is
rendered on the screen is also printed that way.
And if you really need to know whether certain browsers print a document
in the state as currently manipulated with script or as initially loaded
you should run tests with those browsers.

That's an abuse. <div> is meant to be a block element (display: block),
and if you want a generic inline, use <span>. Theoretically there's
nothing wrong with that, and if you want it's legal to create <textarea
style="display: table-header-group"> but that's asking for trouble.
If the browser is displaying some divs, and the user gives a printcommand for the page, can I be sure only the visible parts are printed?
If not, be sure to report a bug to the browser developers.
AFAIK there should be no problems. I never tried with inline DIVs
though. bw****@gmail.co m wrote: Erwin Moller napisal(a): Hi all,

Thanks both,
The display-style element in div is abuse?
OK, I believe that right away :-).
I am confortable with JS, but my stylesheetknowl edge sucks.
I'll change them to span's right away.
<textarea style="display: table-header-group">
LOL, nice nonsense. I got your point. ;-)
Ok, as far as the printerdrivers/printers/browser-combi's are concerned:
I'll hope the best of it, and just try it.
Untill now I didn't find a printer that screwed it up.

I have a large form that is generated dynamically in a jsp using xml / xslt. So, to
break up this form into several "tabbed" sections, I break up the form using <div>
tags. Each <div style="display:none"> can be displayed by setting the style attribute
to "display:", or hidden with "display:none". This gives the illusion that the person
filling out the form is switching from page to page...without the overhead of extra
hits on the server,...

Hi group,
I have this obscure problem that really needs to be fixed, but I am out of
ideas.
Because the original script is very big, I'll try to summarize its
functionality.
Setup:
- many form-elements that will 'activate' a part of the form based on the
selection made.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
