CSS For Print Question

Sent by Les Mizzell on 10 July 2004 23:11


Got a page with a "Print this Page" button using javascript to open up 
the print box. I have a separate "media:print" css file that sets up the 
page using "display:none" to hide the various elements that don't need 
to print out.

When I hit "Print Preview" from the browser "File" menu, the page looks 
EXACTLY like I want it to in the preview window. I figure I did my job 
right.

However, I'm working from a remote location and don't have a printer 
with me, so when the client prints the page on his end (Recent Netscape 
and I.E.) the page, the hidden elements are printing out anyway, despite 
the fact that HIS "Print Preview" looks correct as well.

Uhhh...I'm totally confused. Why would something print differently than 
"print preview" shows it?

Any known issues I need to be aware of here? I certainly must be missing 
something or there's yet more browser bugs/issues I've got to find 
work-arounds for...

Thanks,

Les
