Need help making printer friendly css

orfiyus · 11-02-2007, 10:04 AM

Hi

I dled and made a webpage out of this css http://theme-2-cols-sand.freeflux.net/. When I print it tho it doesnt come out exactly the way it looks on the screen. Can someone point me in the right direction in making this into printer friendly css?

Pretty much the only tags I use from the css is container, banner, right, content, and footer. So I just gotta get these tags to align right when they get printed out.

Thanks

Hi, I've been doing some css lately too, and during my search I found this, it may help you too.

and this one gets a bit more technical...

I've settled for this, basic and clean for screen-readers too.

/* print styles */
BODY {color: black; background: white;}
A:link, A:visited {background: white; color: black; text-decoration: underline;
font-weight: bold;}
H1, H2, H3 {background: white; color: black; padding-bottom: 1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;}
