If your tabs are marked up as div elements and your Javascript sets their display property to none, then your print style sheet would need to set the display property to block.http://www.codestyle.org/css/media/FAQ.shtml#displayoverride My print style sheet is suppressing images!- (Found July 8, 2008 ) A: There is nothing implicit in a print style sheet that would prevent images from printing. However you want the pages to appear when printed, it must be declared in the rules of your print media style sheet. If you do not have an explicit rule for image elements, it may be that the container element for the images is set to not display, hence nothing it contains displays either.http://www.codestyle.org/css/media/FAQ.shtml#printimages How can I suppress printing of navigational elements- (Found July 8, 2008 ) A: To save readers from printing navigational elements, interactive forms and other content that is only relevant in screen mode, assign specific class attributes to these elements and use a print media stylesheet to control the display property of these elements.http://www.codestyle.org/css/media/FAQ.shtml#nonprinting Can I set standard page margins for all users- (Found July 8, 2008 ) A: It is not possible to adjust the master page margins beyond those enforced by the initial printer configuration, which is usually the maximum printable area for the device. If you set a negative margin on the body of the document, any content at the edges will not print. If you set any positive margin on the body, it is adjusted inwards from the current settings of the printer.http://www.codestyle.org/css/media/FAQ.shtml#canvaslimit How can I control print headers and footers with CSS- (Found July 8, 2008 ) A: The page numbers, URL, date and other peripheral information that may be printed with a Web page cannot be controlled by CSS in mainstream Web browsers. CSS properties can only affect the so-called canvas area of the browser, the part where the HTML is rendered, not browser-specific features like page headers and footers.http://www.codestyle.org/css/media/FAQ.shtml#printmargins Which mainstream browsers support aural stylesheets- (Found July 8, 2008 ) A: Neither Internet Explorer or Netscape support aural stylesheets; that is, neither browser will read Web page content out loud by themselves. Both browsers can be configured with screen reader software to read pages, but these facilities are not directly related to the use of aural stylesheets.http://www.codestyle.org/css/media/FAQ.shtml#auralsupport |
